Managing Central Node, PCN, or SCN servers using the program web interface

You can use the program web interface to perform the following actions with the server on which the Central Node component is installed:

  • Configure the date and time on the server.
  • Power off and restart the server.
  • Generate or upload a server certificate that you can prepare on your own.
  • Configure the network settings of the server.
  • Monitor the disk space usage on the server.

If you are using the

and , use the web interface of the PCN or SCN server for which you want to configure parameters.

Generating or uploading a TLS certificate of the server

If you are already using a server TLS certificate, generating or uploading a new certificate causes the currently used certificate to be removed and replaced with the new certificate.

You must enter the data of the new certificate everywhere the old certificate was used.

If you replace the TLS certificate, you will need to

Please delete all Endpoint Agent host isolation rules. Connection with the isolated hosts and control over them will be lost.

You can generate a new certificate in the web interface: of the Central Node server or upload a certificate that you have created independently.

If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, use the web interface of the PCN or SCN server for which you want to configure parameters.

To generate a TLS certificate for a Central Node server:

  1. Sign in to the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform web interface with the administrator credentials.
  2. In the window of the program web interface, select the Settings section, Certificates subsection.
  3. In the Server certificate section, click Generate.

    This opens the action confirmation window.

  4. Click Yes.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform generates a new TLS certificate. The page is automatically refreshed.

Communication with the mail sensors, the Sandbox component, and the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program is interrupted until reauthorization.

You can choose to prepare the TLS certificate on your own and upload it using the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform web interface.

The TLS certificate file prepared for upload 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 format.
  • The private key length must be 2048 bits or longer.

For more details on preparing TLS certificates for import, please refer to the documentation on Open SSL.

Upload the TLS certificate in the web interface of the PCN or SCN server to which you want to upload the certificate.

To upload an independently prepared TLS certificate using the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform web interface:

  1. Sign in to the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform web interface with the administrator credentials.
  2. In the window of the program web interface, select the Settings section, Certificates subsection.
  3. In the Server certificate section, click Upload.

    This opens the file selection window.

  4. Select a TLS certificate file to download and click the Open button.

    This closes the file selection window.

The TLS certificate is added to the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform.

Communication with the mail sensors, the Sandbox component, and the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program is interrupted until reauthorization.

Selecting operating systems to use when scanning objects in Sandbox

If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, use the web interface of the PCN or SCN server for which you want to configure parameters.

You can select a set of operating systems that will be used to generate tasks for scanning objects using the Sandbox component. On the Sandbox server, you must install virtual machines with operating systems that match the configured set.

To select the set of operating systems:

  1. Select the Sandbox servers section in the window of the program web interface.
  2. Go to the Settings tab.
  3. Under OS set, select one of the following options:
    • Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.
    • CentOS 7.8, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.
    • Astra Linux 1.7, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform will create tasks for scanning objects in Sandbox in accordance with the selected set.

If the set of operating systems installed on the Sandbox server does not match the set selected on the Central Node server, objects are not sent to be scanned by that Sandbox server. If multiple Sandbox servers are connected to the Central Node server, the program sends objects to those Sandbox servers whose installed operating systems match the set selected on Central Node.

You can change the set of operating systems in the course of using the program. In this case, you need to make sure that the configuration of the Sandbox server satisfies hardware requirements.

In distributed solution and multitenancy mode, the settings of the operating system set configured on the PCN server are not applied to SCN servers connected to that PCN server. You can select the set of operating systems for each PCN and SCN server individually.
