Note: If the data center that the engine contacts does not match the home data center that is specified in the license, files are forwarded to the home data center for analysis and stored in the home data center. This only applies to the Cloud Sandbox - Advanced Malware Detection.
Host Name	The host name of the sandbox server. The host name is used to automatically generate the default values in the Server URL and Portal URL fields.
Server URL (Optional)	The URL of the sandbox server. The URL can contain a domain name or an IP address. If you do not enter a URL, the default value is automatically generated based on the host name.
Portal URL (Optional)	The URL of the portal where you can view analysis reports for files that have been analyzed by the sandbox service. The URL can contain a domain name or an IP address. If you do not enter a URL, the default value is automatically generated based on the host name. Note: If you change this URL, make sure that the new URL includes the [task_uuid] variable. The value of the variable is automatically resolved based on file filtering log entries. This only applies to the Cloud Sandbox - Advanced Malware Detection.
Portal Username (Optional)	The account for which the file analysis reports are stored in the external portal. If you log on to the portal with the same portal user name, you can view the file analysis history stored for the account. Note: This only applies to the Cloud Sandbox - Advanced Malware Detection.
API URL	The URL that the SMC uses to query the sandbox service API to generate permanent links to sandbox analysis reports. We recommend that you use the default value.
API Key	The API Key is used to authenticate the API calls from the engine to the local sandbox AMDP server. Note: This is only applicable to the Local Sandbox – Advanced Malware Detection & Protection.
License Key (Optional)	The license key for the connection to the sandbox server. This license key is used globally for all Secure SD-WAN Engines for which Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection is enabled. You can override this setting for individual Secure SD-WAN Engines in the Engine Editor. If you do not enter the license key in the properties of the Sandbox Service element, you must enter the license key in the Engine Editor for each Secure SD-WAN Engine for which Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection is enabled. Note: The license defines the home data center where files are analyzed. Enter the key and license token for the data center that you want to use as the home data center. CAUTION: The license keys and license tokens allow access to confidential analysis reports. Handle the license key and license token securely.
