Connecting Dr.Web Agent to Other Dr.Web Server

Top  Previous  Next

You can connect the Agent to the other Server by one of the following ways:

1.Via the Control Center.

Remote management without a direct access to the station is possible in case the station is still connected to the previous Server. You need the access to the Control Center both of the previous and the new servers.

2.Directly at the station.

To perform the actions directly on the station, you must have administrative permissions on the station and permissions to edit the Agent properties, which are set on the Server. If you do not have these permissions, you can reconnect to other Server locally on the station only after removing installed Agent and installing the new Agent with the new Server settings. If you do not have permissions to remove the Agent locally, use Dr.Web Remover utility to remove the Agent on the stations or remove the Agent via the Control Center.

To reconnect Dr.Web Agent to another Dr.Web Server via the Control Center

1.On the new Server, allow the stations with incorrect authorization parameters to request new authorization parameters as being newbies: select the Administration item of the main menu → the Dr.Web Server configuration item of the control menu → the General tab:

a)Set the Reset unauthorized to newbie flag if it is cleared.

b)If the option Always deny access is selected in the Newbies registration drop-down list, change it to the Approve access manually or Allow access automatically.

c)To apply these settings, click Save and reboot the Server.

If your company policy does not allow to change settings from the step 1, then you need to set the parameters of the station authorization, in accordance with the account created in advance in the Control Center, directly at the station.

2.On the old Server to which the Agent is connected, set the parameters of the new Server: select the Anti-Virus Network item of the main menu of the Control Center → select the required station (or the group for reconnecting all the stations of this group) in the hierarchical list of the network → the Dr.Web Agent option in the Windows section of the control menu → the Network tab:

a) If the drwcsd.pub public encryption key of the new Server does not match the encryption key of the previous Server, set the path to the new public key in the Public key field.

b) Set the new Server address in the Server field.

c) Click Save.

To reconnect Dr.Web Agent to another Dr.Web Server directly at the station

1.Set the new Server parameters in the Agent settings: in the context menu of the Agent icon, select: Tools → Settings → the Main tab → Mode → the Connection to central protection server section → the Change button:

a)If the drwcsd.pub public encryption key of the new Server does not match the encryption key of the old Server, set the path for the new public key in the Public key field.

If you cannot provide the new public key at the moment, you can set the Use an invalid public key flag to allow connection to the new Server with the old public key. In this case, after connection to the new Server, you need to provide a new public key via the Control Center, as described above, and clear the Use an invalid public key flag in the Agent settings.

b)In the Address and the Port fields, set the corresponding parameters of the new Server.

2.Make the station a newbie (reset the authorization parameters on the Server): in the Agent settings section from the step 1, select: the Advanced section → click the Connect as a newbie button. Click OK.

If you already know the ID and the password to connect the new Server, you can provide them in the Station ID and the Password fields. In this case, there is no need to make the station a newbie.
