Introduction Figure 2.2 Disabling colliding system services during installation Note: 1. Upon each startup, Kerio Control detects automatically whether the Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing is running. If it is, WinRoute stops it and makes a record in the Warning log. This helps assure that the service will be enabled/started immediately after the Kerio Control installation. 2. On Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7, Kerio Control registers in the Security Center automatically. This implies that the Security Center always indicates firewall status correctly and it does not display warnings informing that the system is not protected. 2.5 Initial configuration wizard (Windows) Using this wizard you can define all basic Kerio Control parameters. It is started automatically by the installation program for Windows. Setting of administration username and password Definition of the administration password is essential for the security of the firewall. Do not use the standard (blank) password, otherwise unauthorized users may be able to access the Kerio Control configuration. 18

2.5 Initial configuration wizard (Windows) Figure 2.3 Initial configuration — Setting of administration username and password Password and its confirmation must be entered in the dialog for account settings. Name Admin can be changed in the Username edit box. Note: If the installation is running as an upgrade, this step is skipped since the administrator account already exists. Remote Access Immediately after the first Kerio Control Engine startup all network traffic will be blocked (desirable traffic must be permitted by traffic rules — see chapter 7). If Kerio Control is installed remotely (i.e. using terminal access), communication with the remote client will be also interrupted immediately (Kerio Control must be configured locally). Within Step 2 of the configuration wizard, specify the IP address of the host from which the firewall will be controlled remotely to enable remote installation and administration (provided that the Kerio Control Engine is started). Thus Kerio Control will enable all traffic between the firewall and the remote host. Note: Skip this step if you install Kerio Control locally. Allowing full access from a point might endanger security. Enable remote access This option enables full access to the Kerio Control computer from a selected IP address Remote IP address IP address of the computer from where you will be connecting (e.g. terminal services client). This field must contain an IP address. A domain name is not allowed. 19
