To use this method, you need an XML file with a list of categories from the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud Portal. This option is only available with a subscription to Forcepoint Web
Security Cloud. See the Subscription page () to see your subscriptions.
Steps
- Click Choose File, and browse to the location of the XML file with the URL categories.
- Select the file, and then click OK. The file is uploaded to the server.
- Repeat as many times as needed (multiple files can be uploaded, one by one).
Important:
- If you previously worked with Linking Service, and thus already have URL categories in your rules, and now want to import URL categories using an XML file, note that
categories imported via XML from the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway will override the existing rules. This can cause missing categories or conflicts, and it is
highly recommended that you review your rules after importing new URL categories and make sure they are using valid categories.
- If any of the following properties are missing for a URL category in the XML file, the DLP manager ignores the category, and it is not added to the database nor is it
listed in the Security Manager:
- Name
- Predefined/Custom
- Parent (note that “root” is a valid value)
- If a URL category is corrupted (for example, is missing an ID number), it is recommended that you remove it from the XML file before uploading.
