To disable password logon
Steps
- Make sure members of the Super Administrators group in the Web module of the Forcepoint Security Manager have Content Gateway Direct Access (single sign- on) permissions.
- If two-factor authentication will be used, set up two-factor authentication in the Security Manager.
- Log on to the Content Gateway host system and acquire root privileges.
- Change directory to “/etc” and check to see if there is a “websense” subdirectory. If not, create one (“mkdir websense”).
- Change directory to “websense” (path is now “/etc/websense”) and check to see if the file “password-logon.conf” exists.
- If not, create it (“touch password-logon.conf”.
- Edit “password-logon.conf”.
-
Add the line, or modify the existing line to:
password-logon=disabled
-
Write and exit the file.
The change takes effect immediately. There is no need to restart Content Gateway.
