Enabling and disabling connection encryption on a Light Agent

To encrypt the connection, you should configure the connection of Light Agents to the Integration Server.

To configure connection encryption on Light Agents through Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, select the folder with the name of the administration group for whose protected virtual machines you want to configure encryption of the connection between a Light Agent and SVM.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. In the list of policies, select a policy for Light Agent for Windows if you want to configure the settings for Light Agent for Windows, or select a policy for Light Agent for Linux if you want to configure the settings for Light Agent for Linux.
  5. Double-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
  6. In the list on the left, select the connection encryption section.
  7. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to enable encryption of the connection between Light Agents and SVMs, select the Encrypt data channel between Light Agents and SVMs check box. A Light Agent for which connection encryption is enabled can connect only to those SVMs on which the connection is encrypted. By default, connection encryption is disabled on Light Agents and SVMs.
    • If you want to disable encryption of the connection between Light Agents and SVMs, clear the Encrypt data channel between Light Agents and SVMs check box. A Light Agent whose connection encryption is disabled can connect to SVMs on which the connection is not encrypted or a non-encrypted connection is allowed.
  8. Click the Apply button.

To configure connection encryption on a Light Agent in the local interface:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Connection to SVM section, select the Connection encryption section.
  3. Complete step 7 of the previous instructions.

    If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
