Step 8: (Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module only) Install Linking Service on the management server

Before you begin

When you combine Forcepoint Web Security with Forcepoint DLP, or add the Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module, Linking Service allows Forcepoint DLP services to get category and user information from Filtering Service.

This service was not installed when you installed the rest of the management server components because it is dependent on Filtering Service.

To install Linking Service:

Steps

  1. Relaunch the Forcepoint Security Installer on the management server machine.
  2. On the Modify Installation page, click the Modify link next to Forcepoint Web Security.
  3. On the Add Components screen, select Install additional components on this machine, then click Next.
  4. Use the Select Components screen to select Linking Service, then click Next.
  5. On the Filtering Service Communication screen, enter the IP address of the Filtering Service machine and the Filtering Service communication port (15868, by default), then click Next.
  6. On the Pre-Installation Summary screen, verify the installation path, components selected, and other information shown, then click Next.
    A progress screen is displayed while components are installed.
  7. When the installation process finishes, the Installation Complete screen is displayed. Click Next to exit the installer.
