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

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.

info

Starting from version 10, 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'/>

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 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).

warning

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.

info

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 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.

Set the Use policies flag to allow using policies for configuring settings of protected stations (see Policies).

Policy versions number—maximum number of versions that can be created for each policy.

In the Number of backups for the Server versions field, set the maximum number of stored backups created at update to a new revision of the Server via the Control Center (see Updating Dr.Web Server and Restoring from the Backup). The 0 value prescribes to store all backups.
