Checking file integrity

Before using the Forcepoint F1E package builder, check that the file has not become corrupted or been changed. Using a corrupted file might cause problems at any stage of the configuration process or use of the system.

Check file integrity by generating a checksum of the file and comparing it to the checksum provided by Forcepoint:

Steps

  1. Log on to the Forcepoint Downloads page and locate the download listing for the file you want to verify. The checksums are listed in the Details section.
  2. Open the folder that contains the files to be checked.
  3. Using your preferred tool, generate a checksum of the downloaded file.
  4. Compare the displayed output to the checksum listed on the Downloads page. They must match.
    Warning: Do not use a file that has an invalid checksum. If downloading the file again does not help, contact Forcepoint Support to resolve the issue.
