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.
