Use the Network installation tool from Dr.Web Security Control Center to remotely install Dr.Web Agent software to computers running a UNIX system-based OS.
To install Dr.Web Agent via network
1.Select the Administration item in the main menu. Then select the Network installation item in the control menu.
2.In the Stations addresses field, specify IP addresses or DNS names of computers Dr.Web Agent will be installed to. When specifying several stations at a time, use “;” or “,” as a separator (number of spaces around a separator is irrelevant).
|
Addresses should be specified in the network address format described in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses. |
3.By default, the Dr.Web Server field displays IP address or DNS name of Dr.Web Server to which Dr.Web Security Control Center is connected. If necessary, specify the Dr.Web Server address from which the anti-virus software will be installed. When specifying several Dr.Web Servers at a time, use “;” or “,” as a separator (number of spaces around a separator is irrelevant). Leave this field blank to use Dr.Web Server detecting service (Multicast mode).
|
Dr.Web Agent cannot be remotely installed on a computer with Dr.Web Server installed, where the installation is initiated from. |
|
Addresses should be specified in the network address format described in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses. |
4.In the Simultaneous installations field, specify the maximum number of stations the remote installation is allowed to be performed on.
5.Set the Install Dr.Web Agent for UNIX software flag to continue with the settings specific to remote installation on a UNIX system-based OS.
6.In the Connection and authentication timeout (sec.) field, specify the maximum wait time (in seconds) to establish connection and authenticate with remote stations.
7.In the Installation package transfer timeout (sec.) field, specify the maximum wait time (in seconds) to complete installation package transferring from Dr.Web Server.
8.In the Package installation timeout (sec.) field, specify the maximum wait time (in seconds) to complete package installation.
|
When working with a large amount of data, the duration of installation may exceed the session time. If the session expires before the installation is complete, the process will be terminated automatically, and the packages will not be installed. |
9.Set the Install Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers flag if you need to install the Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers product instead of the Agent.
10. In the Authorization on remote stations section, specify authorization parameters to access remote computers the Agent will be installed to:
•User—user name for authorization on stations where remote installation will be performed. For domain users, a domain name must be specified in the following format: <domain>\<user> or <user>@<domain>. For local users, a station name or a workgroup name must be specified in the following format: <station>\<user> or <group>\<user>.
•Password—user password on a remote computer.
You can specify several accounts for authorization. To add one more account, click 
and specify authorization parameters.
During the Agent installation, the listed accounts will be used in order. If installation under any account is failed, the next account in the list is used and so on.
11.In the Authentication using digital signature field, you can specify parameters of alternative way of authorization on remote computers using encryption keys:
•User—user name for authorization on stations where remote installation will be performed. For domain users, a domain name must be specified in the following format: <domain>\<user> or <user>@<domain>. For local users, a station name or a workgroup name must be specified in the following format: <station>\<user> or <group>\<user>.
•Public key—path to the Dr.Web Server's public encryption key file.
•Private key—path to the Dr.Web Server's private encryption key file.
•Private key password—private encryption key password (optional).
Just as in the Authorization on remote stations section, it is possible to specify several accounts at a time. To do that click and fill in the corresponding fields.
|
If authorization parameters are filled in both Authorization on remote stations and Authentication using digital signature sections, the first ones to be used for the Agent installation will be the parameters of authorization via encryption keys. |
12.The Root privileges section contains settings required to elevate user privileges on a remote computer up to a level required to install Dr.Web Agent.
•Set the Use sudo or Use su flag to elevate privileges up to root user level for the time of the Agent installation.
•In the Password input timeout (sec.) field, specify the maximum wait time (in seconds) for password input to allow using the su or sudo command.
•In the su/sudo password field, enter the password to use when using the su or sudo command. By clicking , you can specify multiple passwords to cycle through. If you keep this field empty while the user password in the Authorization on remote stations section is specified, the latter one will be tried to use with the command.
13.In the Port field of the Connection settings section, specify the SSH port number to use on computers for remote installation of Dr,Web Agent. By clicking the you can list multiple ports to use.
14.After you specify all necessary parameters, click Install.
15.Dr.Web Agent will be installed on selected workstations. After a workstation is approved at Dr.Web Server (if required by Dr.Web Server settings, see also Administrator Manual New Stations Approval Policy), the anti-virus package will be automatically installed.
16.Restart the remote computers if the Agent requests.
