To disable password logon

Steps

  1. 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.
  2. If two-factor authentication will be used, set up two-factor authentication in the Security Manager.
  3. Log on to the Content Gateway host system and acquire root privileges.
  4. Change directory to “/etc” and check to see if there is a “websense” subdirectory. If not, create one (“mkdir websense”).
  5. Change directory to “websense” (path is now “/etc/websense”) and check to see if the file “password-logon.conf” exists.
  6. If not, create it (“touch password-logon.conf”.
  7. Edit “password-logon.conf”.
  8. Add the line, or modify the existing line to:
    password-logon=disabled
  9. Write and exit the file.
    The change takes effect immediately. There is no need to restart Content Gateway.
