Administration
Specially designed for networks with little or
no IT staff, Kerio MailServer is easy to install
and easy to administer. It is a robust solution
with comprehensive features to provide complete
email and collaboration package.
Easy deployment
Highly acclaimed for its ease of deployment, administrators
can download, install and configure Kerio MailServer
in minutes. Kerio MailServer comes with a wizard
for setting up basic features such as the administrative
account, the primary domain, and the location
of the store directory.
Kerio's Windows applications are packaged with
MSI installers, making deployment faster and easier
through Active Directory or third party software
deployment tools.
Self-contained services
Installation does not require a server-based operating
system or a directory server. All services within
Kerio MailServer are self contained, meaning it
has no dependencies on other services which may
be pre-installed with the operating system. (SMTP,
POP, IMAP, LDAP, and HTTP)
Additional tools and functionalities that come
with the installation are Kerio
Mobility, anti-spam,
anti-virus,
mailing lists, archiving
and backup. Integrated into the product and
price, schools and businesses can save money in
administration costs and from having to purchase
the components separately.
Migration tools
To help lighten the burden of deployment, Kerio
provides complementary migration tools to make
migrations simple and smooth. Read

Directory service integration and user
management
Kerio MailServer allows administrators to manage
users in four different ways.
- Microsoft Active Directory (Watch

- Apple Open Directory (Watch
video)
- PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) on Linux
- Kerio MailServer's own internal user database
The integration with a directory service can
help administrators manage user accounts in one
location. Directory service integration is optional,
which can be ideal for smaller organizations that
don't need to setup a directory server.
Kerio MailServer can also allow simultaneous
use of the internal database and a directory server
to authenticate users. This allows administrators
to easily manage temporary accounts without having
to use Active Directory licenses.
All-inclusive administration console
In one interface, administrators can use Kerio
Administration Console to configure all the settings
of Kerio MailServer, including Kerio
Mobility, anti-spam,
anti-virus,
mailing lists, archiving
and backup .
Secure options
Several authentication options such as Cram-MD5,
Kerberos authentication with directory servers,
pluggable authentication modules (PAM) on the
Linux version, are available to provide easy management
and secure authentication. Policies can be enabled
to enforce all connections to be secure.
Kerio MailServer provides a simple process to
import root or intermediate SSL certificates as
well as a wizard to create a self-signed certificate.
Multi-domain administration
Multiple domains can be created and managed with
its own set of users, groups, email addresses,
and mailing lists.
Remote administration
Kerio Administration Console for Kerio MailServer
is a separate application, which can be installed
on any supported operating system for remote administration.
Remote connections to the server are encrypted.
Kerio Web Administration
Kerio Web Administration is a web-based interface
that allows non-technical people to manage users
and aliases in their domain from a browser. Unlike
the full-featured Kerio Administration Console,
Kerio Web Administration cannot modify any other
settings, and users can only change or view the
settings of their own domain. |
