Specifying settings for remote installation on Unix devices

Expand all | Collapse all

When you install an application on a Unix device by using a remote installation task, you can specify Unix-specific settings for the task. These settings are available in the task properties after the task is created.

To specify Unix-specific settings for a remote installation task:

1. In the main menu, go to Devices → Tasks.
2. Click the name of the remote installation task for which you want to specify the Unix-specific settings.

   The task properties window opens.

3. Go to Application settings → Unix-specific settings.
4. Specify the following settings:
   • Set a password for the root account (only for deployment through SSH)

     If the sudo command cannot be used on the target device without specifying the password, select this option, and then specify the password for the root account. Kaspersky Security Center transmits the password in an encrypted form to the target device, decrypts the password, and then starts the installation procedure on behalf of the root account with the specified password.

     Kaspersky Security Center does not use the account or the specified password to create an SSH connection.

   • Specify the path to a temporary folder with Execute permissions on the target device (only for deployment through SSH)

     If the /tmp directory on the target device does not have the execute permission, select this option, and then specify the path to the directory with the execute permission. Kaspersky Security Center uses the specified directory as a temporary directory to access via SSH. The application places the installation package in the directory and runs the installation procedure.

5. Click the Save button.

The specified task settings are saved.
