7.1.1. New Stations Approval Policy

 

Procedure of stations adding via the Control Center is described in the Creation of a New User Account section.

 

Possibility of managing authorization of stations at the Enterprise Server depends on the following parameters:

1.If during the Agent installation, Automatic authorization is selected, mode of stations access to the Server is defined according to settings specified at the Server (used by default).

2.If during the Agent installation, Manual authorization is selected 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 p. Installation Files).

 

Setting the type of the Agent authorization during its installation is described in p. Installation of the Dr.Web Enterprise Agent in the Graphical Mode of the Installer (step 6).

 

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

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

2.On the General tab, in the Newbie 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 Unapproved stations list until administrator submits them.

To access the Unapproved stations list:

1.Select the Administration item in the main menu of the Dr.Web Control Center, then click Unapproved stations in the control menu.

2.In the opened window, the table of stations with installed Agents requesting the Server access and the following general information about stations are listed: time of request, network name, IP address of a station and OS installed at a station.

3.To specify an access to the Server, set flags for corresponding stations or set the flag in the table header to select all stations. On the toolbar, set the action to apply for selected stations:

- approve access for selected stations and set the primary group from the offered list,

- deny access for selected stations.

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 Everyone group will be set as a primary.

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.
