Installing Forcepoint Security Manager management components for the virtual appliance

These steps are only necessary if Forcepoint Security Manager is deployed on-premises.

  1. If you have not installed Forcepoint DLP on the management server, follow the installation instructions here.
  2. The Forcepoint Email Security installer launches automatically. Use this installer to install the necessary email components on the manager. On the remaining screens, enter only the internal IP addresses of the Azure appliances. Version 8.5: if you are already running Forcepoint Email Security on-premises, it is not possible to add email appliances in Azure to the same Forcepoint Security Manager. Versions 8.5.3, 8.5.4, and 8.5.5: your deployment may include an on-premises Forcepoint Security Manager with email appliances in Azure.
  3. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  4. Enter the local IP address and port of the SQL database to use for storing management data. Include the user name and password for the database account.
  5. Enter a location for the database files or accept the default value.
  6. On the Email Appliance page, enter the IP address or host name of the VA you created when deploying the appliance in Azure and then click Next.
  7. Specify where to install the software.
  8. Click Install.
