Connection Parameters

Top  Previous  Next

On the Connection Parameters tab, you can specify parameters determining interaction with the Server:

In the Public key field specify the public encryption key of Dr.Web Server (drwcsd.pub) which is stored on the station. To select the key file, click .

Several public keys can be stored on the station at the same time, e.g., during the process of encryption keys replacement or during moving from one Server to another. Note that keys must be unique, i.e. you cannot specify two similar public keys.

To add one more public key, click and select the key file.

To remove existing key from the station, click .

If the Allow operating without public key flag is cleared, you cannot remove the last public key.

Set the Allow operating without public key flag to allow connecting Agents if they do not have public encryption key (drwcsd.pub) or the file has incorrect structure.

Set the Allow operating with invalid public key flag to allow connecting Agents if they have incorrect public encryption key (drwcsd.pub).

In the Server field, you can specify the address of Dr.Web Server. You may leave this field blank. Then the Agent will use the address of Dr.Web Server that is set on the user’s local computer (the address of the Server from which the installation has been performed).

Either one Server address or several different Servers addresses can be set. To add one more Server address, click and specify an address in the added field. Format of Server network addresses is described in the Appendices document, in the Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses section.

Server address example:

tcp/10.4.0.18:2193

tcp/10.4.0.19

10.4.0.20

If the Server parameter value is set incorrectly/invalid, the Agents will disconnect from the Server and will not be able to reconnect. In this case you will have to set the Server address on the stations directly.

In the Search retries number field, set the parameter determining the number of attempts to find Dr.Web Server via the connection using the Mulicasting mode.

In the Search timeout (sec.) field, set the interval between attempts to find Dr.Web Server in seconds via the connection using the Mulicasting mode.

The Compression mode and Encryption mode fields determine the compression and encryption settings of network traffic correspondingly (also see p. Traffic Encryption and Compression).

In the Network listening parameters field, specify the UDP port for Dr.Web Security Control Center to search for working Dr.Web Agents in a network. To disable ports listening, enter NONE.

This parameter should be specified in the network addresses format described in the Appendixes document, in the Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses section.

By default, ports listening is disabled. To enable ports listening, specify the udp/:2193 value, which means "all interfaces, port 2193".
