# Forcepoint One Endpoint integration configuration overview

The integration of Forcepoint One Endpoint consists of several general steps.

1
  Create or use a certificate authority from the domain where the endpoint clients are located, then import the CA to the SMC as a Trusted Certificate Authority element. For more information, see Knowledge Base article 14099.
2
  In the SMC Client, create an ECA Configuration element that uses the created CA.
3
  Enable Forcepoint Endpoint Context Agent (ECA) on the engine, and use the ECA Configuration element that you created.
4
  Export the configuration XML file, and use the file when installing the Forcepoint One Endpoint client on the endpoints. The file contains the details of all the Security Engines that use the same ECA Configuration element. If additional Security Engines are added to the configuration, the updated XML configuration file is automatically sent to the endpoint clients when they connect to an Security Engine.
5
  (Optional) To use endpoint client information for access control, define Endpoint Application and Endpoint Settings elements.
6
  (Optional) In the policy of the Security Engine, configure Access rules using Endpoint Application and Endpoint Settings elements as matching criteria.
  Access rules to allow communication between Forcepoint One Endpoint components are automatically generated.
7
  (Optional) To view endpoint information in log data and reports, enable endpoint information logging in the Access rules.
