New feature in this release

This release of the agent includes this new feature. For more information, see the Forcepoint ONE SSE Admin Guide.

Proxy Chain support

SmartEdge agent supports proxy chaining from the SmartEdge Agent 2.1.0 version onwards. When the SmartEdge agent arrives at an office location with the site Type set to Explicit Proxy, the agent detects the Site and proxy chains based on the Agent Override setting defined in the Site configuration.

Note:
  • The first site on your tenant will be available in all regions after 10 minutes for the agent's Chain to Explicit Proxy feature to work.
  • If you uninstall the SmartEdge Agent from a user device of the first tenant and install to a user device of a new tenant, then the agent's Chain to Explicit Proxy feature will be available only after 40 minutes. To reduce this waiting period, follow the recommended steps:
    1. Uninstall the SmartEdge Agent from a user device of Company A.
    2. Remove the SmartEdge Agent associated with Company A's Forcepoint ONE SSE.
    3. Wait at least 11 minutes.
    4. Install the SmartEdge Agent on a user device of Company B.

To know about Proxy chain support in detail, refer to Configuring explicit proxy.

With the release of SmartEdge Agent 2.1.0 version, the name Bitglass is replaced with Forcepoint on the SmartEdge Agent tray and all the Bitglass icons are replaced with the Forcepoint icons.
