Overview

You are using KerioConnect virtual appliance deployment and want to find out if you can register it with the AppManager and manage the appliance from it.

Solution

While using the KerioConnect virtual appliance with the AppManager is not restricted, adding such pre-built VAs to AppManager occasionally can cause issues, and the Development team is no longer working on fixes for these.

We recommend avoiding the KerioConnect virtual appliance deployment; it is instead preferred to have a Linux machine (virtual or physical) and install KerioConnect on top of that. Version 9.2.8 was the last official release, the console is still available for use if desired, but there is no support for that, as stated in Using Kerio Connect Virtual Appliance

Summary

Although it is technically possible to register and manage a KerioConnect virtual appliance (VA) with AppManager, it is not recommended due to known issues that currently have no scheduled fixes from the development team. Instead, it is advisable to install KerioConnect on a Linux machine (either virtual or physical). The last official release for the KerioConnect virtual appliance was version 9.2.8, and while the console is still usable, there is no ongoing support for this deployment option.
