## Engine Editor > Add-Ons > TLS Inspection

Use this branch to activate TLS inspection. You can configure TLS inspection for client or server protection.

Note: These settings are not supported for Master NGFW Engines.

Option | Definition
--- | ---
Client Protection Certificate Authority | Select the Client Protection Certificate Authority element to use for client protection.
TLS Credentials | Specifies the Server Protection Credentials elements that are used for server protection. Click Add to add an element to the list, or Remove to remove the selected element.
Check Certificate Revocation | When selected, the NGFW Engine uses CRL or OCSP to check whether certificates have been revoked.
Decrypt All Traffic | When selected, the NGFW Engine forces all traffic to be decrypted. When the checkbox is not selected, the NGFW Engine either decrypts or does not decrypt traffic according to the settings in TLS Match elements.
Cryptography Suite Set (TLS 1.2 and lower) | Specifies the TLS Cryptography Suite Set element that defines which cryptographic algorithms are allowed for TLS traffic that is decrypted for TLS Client Protection. Click Select to select an element. Note: If you use TLS 1.3 with NGFW Engine version 6.11 or higher, the NGFW Engine decrypts all supported TLS 1.3 cryptographic algorithms.
Do not decrypt destinations signed with these certificates | The NGFW Engine does not decrypt the TLS connection where the server certificate is signed by one of the issuer certificates listed in this field.
Active destination server certificate probing | When selected, it enables the NGFW Engine to fetch the server certificate over a separate TLS connection before establishing the original connection.
Server certificate cache timeout | The set value for this field determines how long the previously fetched certificates are to be retained.

## Engine Editor > Add-Ons > Endpoint Integration

Use Client Certificates for Authentication | When selected, the NGFW Engine allows users to authenticate using X.509 certificates. Client certificate authentication is supported for browser-based user authentication.
Always Use HTTPS | When selected, redirects connections to the HTTPS port and enforces the use of HTTPS if the NGFW Engine also listens on other ports.
Listen on Interfaces | Restricts the interfaces that users can authenticate through. All — Users can authenticate through all interfaces. Selected — Users can only authenticate through the selected interfaces.
User Authentication Page | Select the User Authentication Page element that defines the look of the logon, challenge, re-authentication, and status page shown to end users when they authenticate.
Enable Session Handling (Optional) | When selected, enables cookie-based strict session handling. Note: When Enable Session Handling is selected, the Authentication Idle Time-Out option is not available. The Refresh Status Page Every option defines the authentication timeout.
Refresh Status Page Every (Optional) | Defines how often the status page is automatically refreshed. When Enable Session Handling is selected, defines the authentication timeout.

User Identification Service | The Forcepoint User ID Service, McAfee Logon Collector, and Integrated User ID Service provide user, group, and IP address information that can be used in transparent user identification. The Integrated User ID Service is primarily meant for demonstration purposes and proof-of-concept testing of user identification services. Select — Allows you to select an existing Forcepoint User ID Service, McAfee Logon Collector, or Integrated User ID Service element. None — Disables transparent user identification. Note: For Forcepoint NGFW version 6.4 or higher, we recommend that you use the Forcepoint User ID Service.
Network Filters section (When a Forcepoint User ID Service element is selected)
IP Ranges (Optional) | To prevent the NGFW Engine from receiving too many logon events, specify the IP address ranges of networks from which to receive logon events. Click Add to add an element to the list, or Remove to remove the selected element. We recommend adding the IP address ranges of networks for which the NGFW Engine routes traffic. Note: Network filters do not exclude other IP addresses outside of the specified IP address range if a user has at least one logon in the specified IP address range. The NGFW Engine might still receive logon events from other IP address ranges.

Use this dialog to enable IPv6 transition mechanisms that enable communication between devices that have only IPv4 addresses and devices that have only IPv6 address.

Option | Definition
--- | ---
Type | Select one of the following translation modes: NAT64: Allows only IPv6 connectivity to customers while still enabling access to servers that have only IPv4 address. Following fields need to be set: Local IPv4 pools: IPv4 addresses used in translation. NAT64 IPv6 prefix: 32,40,48,56,64 or 96 bit IPv6 prefix. IPv6 addresses matching this prefix will be translated to IPv4 addresses. (96 bit prefix recommended). Static mappings (Optional): Can be used to ensure that specific IPv6 address & port combination will be always translated to specific IPv4 address & port combination. IPv4 address must be from the local IPv4 pool. 464XLAT CLAT: Enables IPv4-only applications to work on IPv6-only networks. Following fields need to be set: Local IPv6 Prefix: 32,40,48,56,64, or 96 bit IPv6 prefix (96 bit prefix recommended) which will be used when translating local IPv4 addresses. Surrounding network must route traffic matching this prefix to NGFW. Remote IPv6 Prefix: 32,40,48,56,64 or 96 bit IPv6 prefix (96 bit prefix recommended) which will be used when translating non-local IPv4 addresses. This prefix must match the NAT64 prefix configured to the remote 464XLAT PLAT. SIIT EAM: Allows any IPv4 address to be converted to an IPv6 address by way of one simple configurable IPv6 prefix. Following fields need to be set: Default IPv6 Address pool: 32,40,48,56,64 or 96 bit IPv6 prefix (96 bit prefix recommended) which will be used when translating between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This prefix will be used when explicit mapping entries are not matching. SIIT EAM Mappings (Optional): Combination of IPv4 network prefix and IPv6 prefix definition. IPv4 prefix value must have identical or smaller number of suffix bits than its corresponding IPv6 prefix value.
