Integrating with Kaspersky Security Center

This section describes how to create and configure integration between ConnectWise Manage and Kaspersky Security Center by using Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP.

To successfully create integration, connect to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server and perform the steps described in the following sections.

Connecting to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server

When you start Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP, the connection settings window opens. In this window, specify the settings to connect to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

Connecting to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server

To connect to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server:

1. In the Start menu, select Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP.
2. In the window that opens, select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business solution to connect to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
3. You can connect to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server in one of the following ways:
   • By providing the connection parameters for the computer on which the Administration Server is installed.

     If you selected this method of connection, specify the following connection settings. None of the fields can be blank.

     • Address—Address of the computer on which the Administration Server is installed. You can specify this value as an IP address or as a domain name of the computer.
     • User name—User name to connect to the computer on which the Administration Server is installed, that is, to the computer whose address you specified in the Address field.
     • Password—Password to connect to the computer, on which the Administration Server is installed, that is, to the computer whose address you specified in the Address field.
   • By selecting the Administration Server certificate.

     In this case, you do not have to provide the connection parameters for the computer on which the Administration Server is installed. Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP uses the certificate of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server to connect to this Administration Server. Usage of the certificate guarantees that Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP connects to the Administration Server from which the certificate was downloaded.

     The Administration Server certificate is created automatically during installation of the Administration Server and is stored in the %ProgramData%\Application Data\KasperskyLab\adminkit\1093\cert folder on the computer that has Administration Server installed. Before starting to use the Administration Server certificate for authentication, copy the certificate file, klserver.cer, to the computer on which Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP is installed.

To use Administration Server certificate:

1. Click the Select Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server certificate link.
2. In the window that opens, select the Use a certificate check box, click Browse, and then navigate to the certificate file.
3. Click OK to start using the selected certificate for connection.
4. If you want to establish the connection to the Administration Server through a proxy server, select the Use proxy server check box. By default, this check box is cleared.

   If you selected the Use proxy server check box, provide the following proxy-server settings:

   • Address—Network address of the proxy server. Provide the address as a full domain name of the proxy server.
   • User name—User name to connect to the proxy server.
   • Password—Password to connect to the proxy server.
5. Click the Proceed button to connect to the Administration Server using the specified settings.

The system validates the provided settings and connects to the Administration Server.

Creating a Kaspersky Security Center integration with ConnectWise Manage

After you connect to the Administration Server, the integration settings window opens, where you can create an integration between ConnectWise Manage and Kaspersky Security Center by means of Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP.

Creation of an integration between ConnectWise Manage and Kaspersky Security Center is required only when you launch Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP for the first time.

Specifying ConnectWise Manage integration settings

To create integration with ConnectWise Manage:

1. In the integration settings window that opens after you connect to the Administration Server, specify the following settings for the newly created integration:
   • Select platform—Select the integration platform from the drop-down list. The list contains the names of all the platforms that Kaspersky Security Center can be integrated with. For integration with ConnectWise Manage, select ConnectWise Manage.
   • Integration name—Name of the new integration. This field cannot be blank. By default, the integration name is Integration with ConnectWise Manage. The integration name is displayed in the Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP window as a link that allows you to view and access the integration properties.

     For an integration with Kaspersky Business Hub, click the View integration ID link under the integration name to view the identifier of the integration. You may have to provide this ID to Kaspersky Lab Technical Support for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

   • Site—Web address of the site that hosts the ConnectWise Manage Server. This field cannot be blank.

     When you set up integration with ConnectWise Manage Cloud, specify the web address of the site that hosts the ConnectWise Manage Server with the ‘api-' prefix. Use one of the following sites based on your location:

     • North American Cloud: api-na.myconnectwise.net
     • European Cloud: api-eu.myconnectwise.net
     • South African Cloud: api-za.myconnectwise.net
     • Australian Cloud: api-au.myconnectwise.net
   • Company—Name of your company in ConnectWise Manage. It is the company name you use to log in to ConnectWise Manage. This field cannot be blank.
   • Public key—Public key generated by ConnectWise Manage. This field cannot be blank.
   • Private key—Private key generated by ConnectWise Manage. This field cannot be blank. The private key is available only at the time the key is created.

     ConnectWise Manage generates both public and private keys. For details on how to generate the keys, see section Setting up public and private keys in ConnectWise Manage.

2. Click the Proceed button when you have finished specifying the integration settings.

   The system validates the ConnectWise Manage integration settings. If the settings you provide are correct, they are saved and then used by Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage to gain access to ConnectWise Manage.

Kaspersky Security Center is now integrated with ConnectWise Manage.

Adding virtual servers to the integration

After an integration with ConnectWise Manage is created, a window opens where you can add Kaspersky Security Center virtual servers to the integration. Kaspersky Security Center virtual servers are then mapped to the ConnectWise Manage companies.

Adding virtual servers to the integration

To add Kaspersky Security Center virtual servers to the integration:

1. In the window, which lists Kaspersky Security Center virtual servers, select the check boxes next to the existing virtual servers to add them to the integration.

   If you want to add all virtual servers to the integration, select the Select all check box.

2. Click Proceed.

You will now be able to map these virtual servers to ConnectWise Manage companies.

Each virtual server can be added to one integration only. That is, if a virtual server is added to an integration, it is not displayed in a list of virtual servers available for another integration.
