Domino tasks

With Forcepoint DLP, you can perform discovery on documents stored in an IBM Domino Data Management System.

Domino environments normally consist of one or more servers working together with data stored in Notes Storage Format (NSF) files. There are usually many NSFs on any given Domino server.

A discovery task treats a document (body and attachments) as one unit. This way, a breach is reported even if the sensitive content is scattered in different parts of the document that individually wouldn’t cause an incident.

Although NSF repositories contain documents and email messages, Forcepoint DLP performs discovery only on documents.

Important:

To use this feature, you must first:

  • Install IBM Notes before installing Forcepoint DLP. Notes must be on the same machine as the crawler.
  • Provide your Notes user ID file and password when prompted by the Forcepoint DLP installer. This information is used to authenticate access to the Domino server for fingerprinting and discovery.
  • Log onto Notes, one time only, and supply a user name and password. This user must have administrator privileges for the Domino environment. (Read permissions are not sufficient.)
  • Connect to the Domino server from the Notes client.

The wizard for creating file system discovery tasks has 8 pages. It opens to the General page (see Domino Discovery Task Wizard - General).
