User directory settings

Use the Settings > General > User Directories page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to define the user directory to use for Forcepoint DLP end users and other policy resources (such as devices and networks).

(The LDAP directory or directories used for adding and authenticating Forcepoint administrators with network accounts is defined on the Security Manager Global Settings > User Directories page.)

Configure Forcepoint DLP to connect to supported directories (such as Microsoft Active Directory or IBM Domino) to ensure that the most current end user and resource information is available.

Use the User Directories page to:

  • Add a directory server. Click New in the toolbar at the top of the content pane, then see Adding or editing user directory server information section.
  • Update the configuration of an existing directory server. Select an entry in the list, then see Adding or editing user directory server information section.
  • Delete an existing directory server.
  • Import user information (see Importing users section and Importing user entries from a CSV file section).

Note that user names with a “/” character cause an import failure from Domino user directories. Please contact Forcepoint Technical Support if your user names contain these characters.

  • Define the ranking order of your directory servers. Click Rearrange Servers in the toolbar at the top of the content pane, then see Rearranging user directory servers section.
