Endpoint profile: Servers tab

The Servers tab of the endpoint profile wizard lists the endpoint servers installed in the system. Each Forcepoint DLP server includes an endpoint server.

Incidents are sent to servers defined as Primary. If multiple servers are defined as Primary, the system round robins endpoint traffic (clients send and receive data to and from all available servers in their list). If all primary servers fail, incidents are sent to servers defined as Secondary. If a server is defined as N/A, it neither receives incidents nor sends configuration settings to endpoints.

Note: Endpoint profiles cannot be deployed if there are no active endpoint servers.

Also use the Servers tab to define the connection protocol between the endpoints and the endpoint servers.

Steps

  1. For each server, select one of the following from the Priority drop-down list:
    • Primary - All data is sent to this server for logging, policy, and profile updates. If you have multiple primary servers, endpoints are divided between the servers.
    • Secondary - If sending data to primary servers fails, data is sent to secondary servers. If you have multiple secondary servers, endpoints are divided between the servers.
    • N/A - Analysis is done locally in the endpoint client. Servers with an N/A status do not receive or send any data.
  2. Select a connection type from the drop-down list. The default type is HTTPS.
  3. To use a proxy server for the connection, check the box and enter the proxy’s IP address and port number.
