About the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in

The Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in (hereinafter also referred to as "the web plug-in") is a specialized component that provides the capability to manage the operation of Kaspersky Thin Client through the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. The web plug-in is included in the Kaspersky Thin Client distribution kit and facilitates interaction between Kaspersky Thin Client and Kaspersky Security Center.

The web plug-in lets you centrally perform the following operations:

• Manage Kaspersky Thin Client settings.
• Receive and view Kaspersky Thin Client events.
• Manage security certificates of Kaspersky Thin Client.

To enable interaction between Kaspersky Thin Client and Kaspersky Security Center, the following conditions must be met:

• When configuring Kaspersky Thin Client, you must specify the settings for connecting to Kaspersky Security Center.
• In the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you must install the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in.

Installing the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in

The Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in is not installed in the Web Console by default. The web plug-in is included in the Kaspersky Thin Client distribution kit and must be installed on the computer that has the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console installed. You can view the list of installed web plug-ins in the Web Console interface (Console settings → Web plug-ins). Web plug-in functions are available to all administrators that have access to the Web Console in a browser, and you can restrict access to Kaspersky Security Management Suite functionality.

If you plan to use the default port to connect the thin client to Kaspersky Security Center, port 13292 must be available on the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. If you plan to use a port other than 13292, you must set the permissions accordingly. For details on port enabling on a Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, see the Modifying the Mobile Device Management settings section of the Kaspersky Security Center Online Help Guide.
