On the General tab, you can configure the following Server parameters:

Dr.Web Server name—the name of the Server. If it is not specified, the name of the computer where Dr.Web Server software is installed is used.

Server language—default language which is used by components and systems of Dr.Web Servers if failed to get language settings from the Server database. Particularly used by Dr.Web Security Control Center and administrator notification system if the database has been corrupted and the language settings cannot be obtained.

Number of parallel requests from clients—the threads number processing data from the clients: Agents, Agent installers, neighbor Servers. This parameter affects Server performance. Change the default setting on advice of the technical support only.

DB connections—the number of database connections with the Server. Change the default setting on advice of the technical support only.

Starting from the 10 version, the Authorization queue parameter cannot be edited vie the Control Center.

On the new Server installation, this parameter takes the 50 default value. On the upgrade from the previous version saving configuration file, the authorization queue value is saved from the previous version configuration.

If you need to edit the authorization queue value, edit the following parameter value in the Server configuration file:

<!-- Maximun authorization queue length -->

<maximum-authorization-queue size='50'/>

Set the Limit updates traffic flag to limit the network traffic bandwidth for transmitting updates from Server to Agents.

If the flag is set, specify in the Maximal transmission speed (KB/s) field the value of maximal speed for updates transmission. Updates will be transferred in ranges of specified bandwidth of summary network traffic for all Agents updates.

If the flag is cleared, updates for Agents are transferred without limitation of network traffic bandwidth.

In the Newbies registration mode drop-down list, select the registration mode for new stations (see New Stations Approval Policy).

In the Default primary group drop-down list select the group which is set as a primary when access of stations to the Server is allowed automatically.

Set the Reset unauthorized to newbie flag to reset parameters to access the Server for workstations which have not passed authorization check. This option can be helpful when you change Server settings (such as public key) or change the DB. In such cases workstations will not be able to connect to the Server and will need to get the new parameters to assess the Server.

In the Encryption drop-down list, select the policy of traffic encryption between Dr.Web Server and connected clients: Dr.Web Agents, neighbor Servers, Network Installers.

For more details on this parameters, read p. Traffic Encryption and Compression.

In the Compression drop-down list, select the policy of traffic compression between Dr.Web Server and connected clients: Dr.Web Agents, neighbor Servers, Network Installers. For more details on this parameters, read p. Traffic Encryption and Compression.

When you select Yes or Possible for traffic compression, the Compression level drop-down list become available. In this list you can select data compression level from 1 to 9, where the 1 is minimal level and 9 is maximal compression level.

In the Allowed difference between time of Server and Agent field specify allowed difference between system time at Dr.Web Server and Dr.Web Agents in minutes. If the difference is larger than specified value, it will be noted in the status of the station at Dr.Web Server. 3 minutes are allowed by default. The 0 value means that checking is disabled.

Set the Replace IP addresses flag to replace IP address with DNS names in Dr.Web Server log file.

Set the Replace NetBIOS names flag to display DNS names instead of NetBIOS names in the catalog of the anti-virus network (when host names cannot be detected, IP addresses are displayed).

Replace IP addresses and Replace NetBIOS names flags are cleared by default. If the DNS service is not set up properly, enabling these flags may considerably slow down the Server operation. When using any of these options, it is recommended to enable cashing names on the DNS server.

If the Replace NetBIOS names flag is set and anti-virus network contains the Proxy server, when for all stations connected to the Server via the Proxy server, in Dr.Web Security Control Center, the name of computer on which the Proxy server is installed, will be shown instead of stations names.

Set the Synchronize stations descriptions flag to synchronize stations descriptions with the description in Dr.Web Security Control Center (Computer description field at the System properties page). If the station description in Dr.Web Security Control Center is absent, the user description will be set to this field. If descriptions differ, the description in Dr.Web Security Control Center will be replaced by the user description.

Set the Track epidemic flag to enable the mode of administrator notification on virus epidemic cases. If the flag is cleared, notifications on virus infection are performed in the standard mode. If the flag is set, you can configure the following parameters of virus epidemic tracking:

Period (sec.)—time period in seconds, during which specified number of messages on infections must be received, so that Dr.Web Server may send to the administrator a single notification on epidemic on all cases of infection.

Messages number—the number of messages on infections that must be received in specified time period, so that Dr.Web Server may send to the administrator a single notification on epidemic on all cases of infection.

Set the Synchronize geolocation flag to enable synchronization of stations geolocation between Dr.Web Servers in multiserver anti-virus network. If the flag is set, you can configure the following parameter:

Startup synchronization—number of stations without geographical coordinates, information on which is requested when establishing a connection between Dr.Web Servers.
