Enter your subscription key

Before you begin

After installation is complete, log on to the Forcepoint Security Manager (console) and enter your subscription key. Entering the key:

  • Allows your product to be verified
  • Initiates database downloads that activate your solution
  • Enables several management console features.

To get started:

Steps

  1. If administrators use Internet Explorer to access the console, make sure that Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) is disabled on their machines.
  2. Use a supported browser to launch the console and log on using the default account (admin) and the password created during installation.

    The console URL is:

    https://<IP_address>:9443/manager/

    Here, <IP_address> is the IP address of the management server.

  3. Enter your subscription key or keys. At first startup:
    • The Web module of the console prompts for a subscription key in the Initial Setup Checklist. This key is automatically applied to Content Gateway.
    • If you have purchased the Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module, the Data module of the console also displays a subscription key page.

    Enter your subscription key and save the change in both consoles.

  4. If you did not provide SMTP server details during installation, use the Global Settings > Notifications page to specify the SMTP server used to enable administrator password reset functionality and account change notifications.
  5. Once the Web and (optionally) Data modules of the console show that your key has been verified, log off of the console and log back on to see all of your subscribed features.
