New Stations Approval Policy

info

Procedure of stations adding via the Control Center is described in the Installation Manual, Creation of a New Station Account.

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

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

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

info

Setting the type of the Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Servers installation).

Always deny access.

Allow access automatically.

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 change the access mode 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.

info

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 Dr.Web Server, in the icon-unapproved Unapproved stations section of the toolbar, set the action to apply for selected stations:

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

icon-unapproved-action Cancel action specified to execute on connection—cancel an action under unapproved station which was specified for executing when station will connect to Dr.Web Server.

icon-unapproved-reject Reject selected stations—deny access to Dr.Web Server for selected stations.

Access Denying

In the Always deny access mode, Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web 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.
