Installing the Management API on a Forcepoint appliance

When you deploy a Forcepoint appliance in full policy source or user directory and filtering mode, the installation files for the Management API are added to the appliance, but API components are not installed or activated.

These instructions demonstrate the installation commands using the command-line tool curl. You may use another, similar tool if you prefer.

In the commands below:

• <c_interface> is the IP address of the appliance communication (C) interface.
• <password> is the admin password for the appliance command-line interface (CLI).
