<strong>Kerio</strong> Control administration<br />

For <strong>Kerio</strong> Control configuration, two tools are available:<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Control Administration web interface<br />

The Administration interface allows both remote and local administration of the firewall<br />

via a common web browser. In the current version of <strong>Kerio</strong> Control, the Administration<br />

interface allows configuration of the most of basic options and parameters of the firewall:<br />

• network adapters,<br />

• traffic rules — manual configuration only; the Traffic Policy Wizard (see<br />

chapter 7.1) is not available,<br />

• intrusion prevention system,<br />

• MAC address filtering,<br />

• additional security options (Anti-Spoofing, connections count limits, UPnP<br />

support)<br />

• DHCP server (including automatic configuration),<br />

• HTTP and FTP filtering rules,<br />

• user accounts, groups, user authentication and domain mapping,<br />

• IP groups, URL groups, time ranges and network services,<br />

• logs.<br />

On the other hand, some of the recently added features are available only in the web<br />

interface:<br />

• exporting and importing configuration,<br />

• automatic configuration of IP scopes on the DHCP server.<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Administration Console<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Administration Console (referred to as the Administration Console in this document)<br />

is an application used for administration of all <strong>Kerio</strong> Technologies’ server products. All<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Control parameters can be configured here.<br />

Using this program you can access the firewall either locally (from the <strong>Kerio</strong> Control<br />

host) or remotely (from another host). Traffic between Administration Console and <strong>Kerio</strong><br />

Control Engine is encrypted. This protects you from tapping and misuse.<br />

<strong>Kerio</strong> Administration Console is installed on Windows hand-in-hand with it during the<br />

installation of <strong>Kerio</strong> Control.<br />

The separate installation package <strong>Kerio</strong> Administration Console for <strong>Kerio</strong> Control is<br />

available for remote administration from another host. The <strong>Kerio</strong> Administration Console<br />

is available for Windows only, but it can be used for administration of both <strong>Kerio</strong> Control<br />

installed on Windows and <strong>Kerio</strong> Control <strong>Software</strong> Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance.<br />
