New Stations Approval Policy

 Top  Previous  Next

Procedure of stations adding via the Control Center is described in the Installation manual, p. Creation of a New User Account.

Possibility of managing authorization of stations at Dr.Web Server depends on the following parameters:

1.If during the Agent installation, the Manual authorization on server flag is cleared, mode of stations access to the Server is defined according to settings specified at the Server (used by default), see below.

2.If during the Agent installation, the Manual authorization on server flag is set and Identifier and Password parameters are specified, when connecting to the Server, station will be authorized automatically regardless of Server settings (is used by default when installing the Agent via the esinst installation package—see Installation manual, p. Installation Files).

Setting the type of the Agent authorization during its installation is described in the User Manual.

To change the access mode of stations to Dr.Web Server

1.Open the Server configuration: select the Administration item in the main menu, then click Dr.Web Server configuration in the control menu.

2.On the General tab, in the Newbies registration drop-down list select the necessary option:

•Approve access manually (the mode is specified by default unless changed at the Servers installation),

•Allow access automatically,

•Always deny access.

Manual Access Approving

In the Approve access manually mode, new stations are placed to the Newbies subgroup of the Status group until administrator submits them.

To manage the access of unapproved stations

1.Select the Anti-virus Network item in the main menu of Dr.Web Security Control Center. In the anti-virus network tree, select stations in the Status → Newbies group.

The Status → Newbies group is available in the anti-virus tree only if the following conditions are met:

1.In the Administration → Dr.Web Server configuration → General section, the Newbies registration option is set to the Approve access manually value.

2.The Approve newbies permission is allowed for the administrator.

2.To specify an access to the Server, in the Unapproved stations section of the toolbar, set the action to apply for selected stations:

Approve selected stations and set a primary group—approve access for selected stations and set the primary group from the offered list.

Cancel action specified to execute on connect—cancel an action under unapproved station which was specified for executing when station will connect to the Server.

Reject selected stations—deny access to the Server for selected stations.

Access Denying

In the Always deny access mode, the Server denies access for requests from new stations. The administrator should manually create an account for new stations and set access password for them.

Automatic Access Approving

In the Allow access automatically mode, all stations that request an access to the Server will be approved automatically without requesting the administrator. The group which is set in the Primary group drop down list of the Dr.Web Server configuration section, on General tab, is set as a primary.
