Kaspersky Security Center Linux includes a version of Administration Server intended for installation on a device running the Linux operating system. Kaspersky Security Center Linux interacts with Administration Server through Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. For more information about Kaspersky Security Center Linux, see its documentation.
This Guide describes how to work with Kaspersky Security Center 14.2 Windows.
The operation of Kaspersky Security requires the following Kaspersky Security Center components:
- Administration Server.
The following services must be configured on Administration Server:
- The proxy activation service is used when activating the Kaspersky Security solution. The activation proxy service is configured in the properties of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. If the activation proxy service is disabled, the solution cannot be activated using an activation code.
- The KSN Proxy service facilitates data exchange between Kaspersky Security solution components and Kaspersky Security Network. The KSN Proxy service is configured in the properties of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
For more detailed information about the activation proxy service and KSN Proxy service, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.
- Network Agent. Network Agent facilitates interaction between Administration Server and virtual machines on which Kaspersky Security solution components are installed.
Network Agent must be installed on all virtual machines that you want to protect:
The Network Agent does not need to be installed on SVMs because this component is included in the SVM images.
- Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. The MMC-based Administration Console (hereinafter also "Administration Console") must be installed. You can also use Kaspersky Security Center Web Console (hereinafter also referred to as "Web Console").
For information on installing Kaspersky Security Center components, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.
