Re-enabling fingerprint classifiers

A customer with a version earlier than 8.8, who already uses fingerprint classifiers and upgrades directly to Forcepoint DLP 8.9.1 (for example, from DLP 8.7.1 to DLP 8.9.1) must perform a re-activation, as explained below. Until the activation is done, only files fingerprinted after the upgrade are protected.

Steps

  1. To analyze structured data: Run a full scan (manually or by scheduler).
  2. To analyze unstructured data, you must recreate the fingerprinting database (FPNE files) as follows:
    1. Go to the DLP installation folder %DSS_HOME%
    2. Run the following command to rebuild the fingerprinting database:
      FPRUtils -o UnstructuredInsertion -Command RecreateFPNE

    It can take about 10 minutes to rebuild the fingerprinting database depending on the size and number of fingerprints. It can also take an additional 10 minutes or so to automatically upload the fingerprints to the cloud.
