About the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in

The Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in (hereinafter also referred to as "the web plug-in") is a specialized component that provides the capability to manage the operation of Kaspersky Thin Client through the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

The web plug-in lets you centrally perform the following operations:

• Manage Kaspersky Thin Client settings.
• Receive and view Kaspersky Thin Client events.
• Manage security certificates of Kaspersky Thin Client.

To enable interaction between Kaspersky Thin Client and Kaspersky Security Center, the following conditions must be met:

• When configuring Kaspersky Thin Client, you must specify the settings for connecting to Kaspersky Security Center.
• In the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you must install the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in.

Installing the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in

Kaspersky Security Management Suite, Kaspersky Security Center, and the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console are not included in the Kaspersky Thin Client distribution kit. They must be installed separately.

You can view the list of installed web plug-ins in the Web Console interface (Console settings → Web plug-ins).

The web plug-in functionality is available to all administrators with browser access to the Web Console. If required, you can set up access control for the Kaspersky Security Management Suite functionality.

If you plan to use the default port to connect the thin client to Kaspersky Security Center, port 13292 must be available on the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. If you plan to use a port other than 13292, you must set the permissions accordingly. For details on port enabling on a Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, see the Modifying the Mobile Device Management settings section of the Kaspersky Security Center Online Help Guide.
