Connecting to an Administration Server and switching between Administration Servers

After Kaspersky Security Center is started, it attempts to connect to an Administration Server. If several Administration Servers are available on the network, the application requests the server to which it was connected during the previous session of Kaspersky Security Center.

After Kaspersky Security Center is started, it attempts to connect to an Administration Server. If several Administration Servers are available on the network, the application requests the server to which it was connected during the previous session of Kaspersky Security Center. Configure Kaspersky not to use a proxy server. For users who need to connect to the Internet using a proxy server, Kaspersky offers options to use a specific proxy server. If you aren’t connecting to the web using a proxy server, make sure that the option Do not use proxy server option is enabled by following the given below instructions. The Administration Servers are combined into a hierarchy: Kaspersky Security Center Web Console running on-premises as the secondary Administration Server and Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console as the primary Administration Server. Kaspersky Security Center Web Console running on-premises is upgraded to version 12 or a later version.

When the application is started for the first time after installation, it attempts to connect to the Administration Server that was specified during Kaspersky Security Center installation.

After connection to an Administration Server is established, the folders tree of that Server is displayed in the console tree.

1. I’ve been in contact with Kaspersky support (reseller) and they failed to give me a solution to this issue, No one was able to install Kaspersky on the Windows 8.1 machine.Thanks a lot. 🙂 Reply J S on December 24, 2015 at 4:38 pm.
2. Anyway, I did some more digging and found the database files that the SQL Server Express Kaspersky uses are stored, and the KAV.mdb file is just a hair shy of 4GB (4,194,048 KB, vs 4,194,304 KB in 4 GBs), which my research tells me is the hard limit for MSSQL Express. Now, I can no longer access the Administration console; it fails to connect.

Kaspersky Connection To Administration Server Failed Administration Server Was Improperly Installed

If several Administration Servers have been added to the console tree, you can switch between them.

Administration Console is required for work with each Administration Server. Before the first connection to a new Administration Server, make sure that port 13291, which receives connections from Administration Console, is open, as well as all the remaining ports required for communication between Administration Server and other Kaspersky Security Center components.

To switch to another Administration Server:

1. In the console tree, select the node with the name of the required Administration Server.
2. In the context menu of the node, select Connect to Administration Server.
3. In the Connection settings window that opens, in the Administration Server address field specify the name of the Administration Server to which you want to connect. You can specify an IP address or the name of a device on a Windows network as the name of the Administration Server. You can click the Advanced button to configure the connection to the Administration Server (see figure below).

   To connect to the Administration Server through a different port than the default port, enter a value in the Administration Server address field in <Administration Server name>:<Port> format.

   Users who do not have read rights will be denied access to Administration Server.

4. Click OK to complete the switch between Servers.

After the Administration Server is connected, the folders tree of the corresponding node in the console tree is updated.

     The Administration Server certificate is created automatically during installation of the Administration Server and is stored in the %ProgramData%Application DataKasperskyLabadminkit1093cert folder on the computer that has Administration Server installed. Before starting to use the Administration Server certificate for authentication, copy the certificate file, klserver.cer, to the computer on which Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP is installed.

To use Administration Server certificate:

1. Click the Select Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server certificate link.
2. In the window that opens, select the Use a certificate check box, click Browse, and then navigate to the certificate file.
3. Click OK to start using the selected certificate for connection.
4. If you want to establish the connection to the Administration Server through a proxy server, select the Use proxy server check box. By default, this check box is cleared.

   If you selected the Use proxy server check box, provide the following proxy-server settings:

   • Address—Network address of the proxy server. Provide the address as a full domain name of the proxy server.
   • User name—User name to connect to the proxy server.
   • Password—Password to connect to the proxy server.
5. Click the Proceed button to connect to the Administration Server using the specified settings.

The system validates the provided settings and connects to the Administration Server.
