Configuring Logon Agent settings in Forcepoint Security Manager

Use the Settings > General > User Identification page to review and edit Logon Agent configuration information.

Steps

  1. Use the Transparent Identification Agents table to select the IP address or hostname of the Logon Agent instance that you want to configure.
    If you have installed a new Logon Agent instance that does not appear in the list, click Add Agent, then select Logon Agent from the drop-down list.
  2. Under Basic Agent Configuration, enter or verify the IPv4 address or hostname of the Logon Agent machine.
    Note:

    Hostnames must start with an alphabetical character (a-z), not a numeric or special character.

    Hostnames containing certain extended ASCII characters may not resolve properly. To avoid this issue, enter an IP address instead of a hostname.

  3. Enter the Port that Logon Agent uses to communicate with other web protection components. The default is 30602.
  4. To establish an authenticated connection between Filtering Service and Logon Agent, select Enable authentication, and then enter a Password for the connection.

Next steps

Next, customize global Logon Agent communications settings. By default, changes that you make here affect all Logon Agent instances.

  1. Under Logon Application Communication, specify the Connection port that the logon application uses to communicate with Logon Agent (15880, by default).
  2. Enter the Maximum number of connections that each Logon Agent instance allows (200, by default).

    If your network is large, you may need to increase this number. Increasing the number does increase network traffic.
