ID 206809
To configure trusted connection between Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and KATA Central Node, perform the following actions on Kaspersky Endpoint Agent side:
- Open the policy properties window.
- In the KATA integration section select KATA integration settings.
The KATA integration settings window opens.
- In the Connection settings group, select the Use pinned certificate to protect connection check box.
- Click the Add new TLS certificate button.
The window for adding a new TLS certificate opens.
- Perform one of the following actions to add a TLS certificate:
- Add a certificate file. Click Upload, and in the window that opens, select the certificate file and click Open.
- Copy and paste the contents of the certificate file to the TLS certificate data field.
Kaspersky Endpoint Agent may have only one KATA server TLS certificate. If you have added a TLS certificate before and then add a TLS certificate once again, only the last added certificate is valid.
- Click OK.
Information about the added TLS certificate is shown in the TLS certificate data group of settings.
- If you want to configure additional connection protection by a user certificate, do the following:
- Select the Secure connection with the client certificate check box.
- Click the Load Crypto-container button.
- In the window that opens select the PFX archive and click Open.
- In the Crypto-container password field, enter the password for the PFX archive.
- Click OK.
- In the upper right corner of the settings group, change the switch from Undefined to Enforce.
The default switch position is Enforce.
- Click OK.
A Trusted connection to the KATA server is now configured.
The TLS certificate file must satisfy the following requirements:
- The file must contain the certificate itself and a private encryption key for the connection.
- The file must be in PEM or DER format.
- The private key length must be 2048 bits or longer.
