Re-register Content Gateway

To enable the Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module, connect Content Gateway to the Forcepoint DLP components on the management server:

Steps

  1. Ensure that Content Gateway and management server systems are running and accessible, and that their system clocks are approximately synchronized.
  2. Ensure the Content Gateway machine has a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that is unique in the network. Hostname alone is not sufficient.
  3. If Content Gateway is deployed as a transparent proxy, ensure that traffic to and from the appliance management interface (C) is not subject to transparent routing. If it is, the registration process will be intercepted by the transparent routing and will not complete properly.
  4. Make sure that the IPv4 address of the eth0 NIC on the Content Gateway machine is available (not required if Content Gateway is located on a Forcepoint appliance). The management server uses the eth0 NIC during the registration process.

    After registration, the IP address can move to another network interface on the same machine; however, that IP address is used for configuration deployment and must be available as long as the 2 modules are registered.

  5. In the Content Gateway manager, go to the Configure > Basic > General tab.
  6. Make sure that the Integration > Web DLP (integrated on-box) option is turned On, then click the Not Registered link.
    The Configure > Security > Web DLP registration screen opens.
  7. Enter the IP address of the Forcepoint management server.
  8. Enter the user name and password for a Forcepoint DLP administrator with Manage System Modules privileges.
  9. Click Register. A reminder to synchronize the system time between the Content Gateway and management server machines is displayed.
  10. If registration succeeds, a Forcepoint DLP Configuration page displays. Set the following configuration options:
    1. Enable the Analyze FTP Uploads option to send FTP uploads to Forcepoint DLP for analysis and policy enforcement.
    2. Enable the Analyze Secure Content option to send decrypted HTTPS posts to Forcepoint DLP for analysis and policy enforcement.

    These options can be accessed from the Configure > Security > Web DLP > General tab.

  11. Click Apply, then restart Content Gateway.
  12. Go to the Data Security module of the Security Manager and click Deploy to complete the registration process.
