Initial configuration of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

Perform initial configuration of the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway virtual machine image after deploying it.

Initial configuration of the virtual machine is a sequence of steps. The Initial Configuration Wizard of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway is started automatically when the virtual machine is powered on for the first time.

Preparing for initial configuration

To begin initial configuration of the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway virtual machine:

1. Start VMware vSphere Client.
2. Select a Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway virtual machine in the list of virtual machines in the left part of the main application window.
3. Power on the virtual machine by clicking the button on the control panel of the main application window.
4. Open the VMware vSphere Client console by selecting the Console tab in the right part of the main application window (see figure below) and follow the steps of the wizard.

Step 4. Configuring participation in Kaspersky Security Network

If you have selected the regular mode of operation of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, the initial configuration wizard of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway prompts you to accept or reject the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network (KSN).

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of cloud services providing access to Kaspersky Lab's online knowledge base with information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster response by Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway to new threats that have not been added to the antivirus databases yet, improves the performance of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false alarms.

Thanks to users who participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Lab is able to promptly gather information about types and sources of threats, develop solutions for neutralizing them, and minimize the number of false positives. In addition, participation in Kaspersky Security Network provides you with access to information about the reputation of various applications and websites.

If you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway performance statistics are submitted to Kaspersky Lab. These statistics are sent automatically.

No personal data is collected, processed, or stored.

Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is voluntary. The decision on whether or not to participate in Kaspersky Security Network is made during initial configuration of Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway. However, you can change your decision later at any time.

The text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement is displayed on the screen of the virtual machine console (see figure below). Use the arrow buttons to navigate the text. The text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement is displayed in the language selected at Step 1.
