Connecting to Servers

Dr.Web CMS Web Console allows you to connect to other servers that have CMS running. To connect to a server, do the following:

1.Right-click the host icon in the console tree and select Add host.

2.Specify the address of a host you want to connect to and click OK.

3.Enter credentials used to connect to the host. If the credentials are correct, the connection will be established and the console tree will display the new host.

This way you can connect to an unlimited number of machines and manage their operation. The settings of each connection are stored in a separate group of Dr.Web CMS Web Console and can be found in Dr.Web CMS Web Console_1.0/Application Settings/Hosts. Each host is shown as a group that has the same name as the connection. There are three variables inside such groups:

•Address – host connection address;

•Login – login for connecting to the host;

•Password – password used for connecting to the host.

Dr.Web CMS Web Console stores connection settings to each host in its CMS group in /Dr.Web CMS Web Console_1.0/Application Settings/Hosts.

Each new added host is shown as a group that takes the name of the connection. Inside such a group, there are three variables: Address, Login and Passsword. The variable Address contains the address of the connection to the host. The Login variable contains user name for connection. The variable Password contains password that is used for connection.

If the credentials are modified, you may not be able to connect to the host. In this case you need to update connection settings for this host in Dr.Web CMS Web Console.

The next time you launch Dr.Web CMS Web Console, it will automatically connect to added hosts. If you want to remove a host, you need to delete the group with connection settings from the console configuration in /Dr.Web CMS Web Console_1.0/Application Settings/Hosts.

In Dr.Web CMS Web Console, you can also create clusters. In a cluster, you can set the same settings for all hosts.
