Configuring the settings for connecting Light Agents to the Integration Server

To configure the connection of Light Agents to the Integration Server 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 edit the Integration Server connection settings.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. In the list of policies, select the Light Agent for Windows policy if you want to change the connection settings for Light Agent for Windows, or the Light Agent for Linux policy if you want to change the connection settings for Light Agent for Linux.

    Double-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.

  5. In the list on the left, select the Settings for connecting to the Integration Server section.
  6. Specify the address and port for the connection:
    1. By default, the Address field shows the domain name of the computer hosting the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center. If this computer does not belong to a domain or if the Integration Server is installed on a different computer and the field shows the wrong address, specify the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Integration Server.
    2. If the port for connecting to the Integration Server differs from the default port (7271), specify the port number in the Port field.
  7. Click Apply in the policy properties window.
  8. If the computer hosting the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console does not belong to a domain or your account does not belong to the KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators, the Connection to Integration Server window opens. Specify the password of the Integration Server administrator (password of the admin account). After a connection has been established to the Integration Server under the administrator account, the account password is automatically relayed to the policy in order to connect Light Agents to the Integration Server.

    Click OK in the Connection to Integration Server window.

    The New Policy Wizard checks the SSL certificate received from the Integration Server. If the certificate contains an error or is not trusted, the Integration Server certificate verification window opens. You can click the button in the window to view the details of the received certificate. To continue connecting to the Integration Server, click the Ignore button. The received certificate will be installed as a trusted certificate on the computer where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

    The capability to connect to the Integration Server is tested. If the connection test failed or a connection to the Integration Server could not be established, an error is displayed in the policy properties window. Check the connection settings you have specified. Information about Integration Server connection errors may be saved in the Integration Server operation log (if you enabled the logging of information).

To configure the connection of Light Agent for Windows to the Integration Server 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 Settings for connecting to the Integration Server section.

    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.

  3. Specify the address and port for the connection:
    1. By default, the Address field shows the domain name of the computer hosting the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center. If this computer does not belong to a domain or if the Integration Server is installed on a different computer and the field shows the wrong address, specify the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Integration Server.
    2. If the port for connecting to the Integration Server differs from the default port (7271), specify the port number in the Port field.
  4. Click the Save button.
  5. If the computer hosting the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console does not belong to a domain or your account does not belong to the KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators, the Connection to Integration Server window opens. Specify the password of the Integration Server administrator (password of the admin account). After a connection has been established to the Integration Server under the administrator account, the account password is automatically relayed to the policy in order to connect Light Agents to the Integration Server.

    Click OK in the Connection to Integration Server window.

    The New Policy Wizard checks the SSL certificate received from the Integration Server. If the certificate contains an error or is not trusted, the Integration Server certificate verification window opens. You can click the button in the window to view the details of the received certificate. To continue connecting to the Integration Server, click the Ignore button. The received certificate will be installed as a trusted certificate on the protected virtual machine.

    The capability to connect to the Integration Server is tested. If the connection test failed or a connection to the Integration Server could not be established, an error is displayed in the policy properties window. Check the connection settings you have specified. Information about Integration Server connection errors is saved in the Integration Server operation log.
