Step 4: Install the Web management components

After the Forcepoint Management Infrastructure installation is complete, the installer for the Forcepoint Web Security management components is launched automatically.

To install the Web Security management components:

Steps

  1. On the Select Components screen, select:
    • Forcepoint Security Manager (Web module) (selected by default)
    • Real-Time Monitor
    • Policy Broker and Policy Server
  2. Still on the Select Components screen, clear the check box next to Linking Service, then click Next.
    If this service is required in your deployment, it will be installed in a later step, when all component dependencies have been met.
  3. On the Policy Broker Replication screen, indicate which Policy Broker mode to use.
    • Select Standalone if this will be the only Policy Broker instance in your deployment.
    • Select Primary, then create a Synchronization password if you will later install additional, replica instances of Policy Broker.

      The password may include between 4 and 300 alphanumeric characters.

      Important: If you are installing the primary Policy Broker, be sure to record the synchronization password. You must provide this password each time you create a Policy Broker replica.
    • Do not select Replica at this stage. You must install a standalone or primary Policy Broker before you can install a replica.

    If you are not sure about which Policy Broker mode to choose, see Managing Policy Broker Replication.

  4. If the management server machine does not include a supported version of the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client and related tools, you are prompted to install the required components. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete this process.
  5. On the Pre-Installation Summary screen, verify the installation path, selected components, and other information, then click or select Next.

    A progress screen is displayed while components are installed.

  6. On the Installation Complete screen, click Next.
  7. If you have chosen to install the Forcepoint DLP management components, you are returned to the Installer Dashboard and the next component installer is launched. See Step 5: (Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module only) Install the Forcepoint DLP management components.

    If you are not installing any Forcepoint DLP (or Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module) components, be sure to select the option that allows you to save installation files on this machine when you exit the installer. There is one more component to install on the management server, but it cannot be installed until after you install Filtering Service. Continue with Step 6: Install an instance of Filtering Service.
