2.3.2.1. Creation of a New User Account

To create a user account or several user accounts, use the Dr.Web Control Center.

 

Make sure that the ServerName parameter in the configuration file webmin.conf has the value of the following format:

<Server_address>:9080,

where <Server_address> is IP address or DNS name of the computer with the Enterprise Server installed.

 

The name of the Server to which the Control Center connects is specified in Enterprise Agent installation packages. Therefore, when you create a new account via the Control Center, make sure that the Control Center connects to the Server using the IP-address of the domain for which you create an account. Otherwise you will not be able to connect to the Server when installing the Agent.

When you setting a connection between the Control Center and the Server, make sure that the Server address is not a loopback (127.0.0.1).

 

To create a new user via the Dr.Web Control Center, do the following:

1.Select the Network item in the main menu of the Control Center.

2.In the toolbar, click Add a station or a group. In the opened submenu, select the Add a station option. A pane for the new user account creation will be opened in the right pane of the Dr.Web Control Center.

3.In the Count entry field, specify the number of accounts to be created.

4.In the ID field, unique identifier of created station will be generated automatically. You can edit it, if necessary.

5.In the Name field, specify the station name, that will be displayed in the anti-virus network hierarchical list. Further, after the station is connected with the Server, this name can be automatically changed to the station name, which is specified locally.

6.In the Password and Retype password fields, specify a password for accessing the Server.

 

When creating more than one account, ID, Name and Password (Retype password) fields are set automatically and can not be changed at the station creation stage.

 

7.In the Description field, specify additional information about the customer. This parameter is optional.

8.In the Groups section, specify groups in which the created station will be included. By default, station is included in the Everyone group. If custom groups are available, you can include the station in those groups. To do this, click the group name in the Known groups list. To exclude a station from customer groups, click the group name in the Member of list.

To set a primary group for the creating station, click the icon of the corresponding group from the Member of list. The 1 will appear on the group icon.

You cannot exclude stations from the Everyone and a primary groups.

9.Specify parameters of the Security section, if necessary. Parameters of this section are described in the p. Management of Stations Configuration.

10.Specify parameters of the Location section, if necessary.

11.Click Save in the upper right corner. The opened pane contains information about successful creation of a station, its ID and the link to download the Agent distribution kit.

12.Further actions to install the Agent described below.

 

Enterprise Agent should be installed by a user with the administrator rights to the computer.

 

If anti-virus software has already been installed on a workstation, then before starting installation the installer will attempt to remove it. If the attempt fails, the user will have to uninstall the anti-virus software from his computer by himself.
