Manually register the DLP module

Steps

  1. Navigate to the page Settings > General > Subscription.
  2. In the field Subscription key, enter a valid subscription key.
  3. Click OK.
    The subscription is updated.
  4. Navigate to the page Settings > General > Data Loss Prevention.
  5. From the pull-down menu Communication IP address, specify the IP address used for communication with the email protection system.
    Note:

    The appliance C interface IP address is selected by default. This setting is recommended for Forcepoint Email Security DLP Module registration.

    If you are running Forcepoint Email Security in Azure, you must use the C interface IP address, as Forcepoint Email Security in Azure only supports a single interface.

  6. Select the registration method Manual. The Properties entry fields are enabled.
  7. Specify the following data management server properties:
    • IP address
    • User name
    • Password
  8. Click Register.
  9. To complete the process, you must deploy DLP policies in the Data Security module; click the Data Security module and then click Deploy.
    Important: Wait until DLP policies are completely deployed before you register another standalone appliance.

    Consider the following when deploying Forcepoint Email Security in an appliance cluster:

    • Register all the primary and secondary machines with the email DLP Module before you deploy any data loss prevention policies. If you deploy DLP policies on the primary appliance while you are registering a secondary machine, the registration process for the secondary machine may not complete.
    • Ensure that all machines in a cluster use the same physical appliance interface (the C, E1, or E2 IP address) to register with the email DLP Module.
