Integrating web and mobile protection solutions

If you have Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint Mobile Security, set up this account to integrate with AirWatch Mobile Device Management (MDM) in the Web module of the Forcepoint Security Manager, as follows:

Steps

  1. Navigate to the Settings > Hybrid Configuration > Mobile Integration > Mobile Device Management Account Setup page.
  2. Select Integrate with MDM provider.
    To disable integration with AirWatch MDM, deselect the box and click Save Now.
  3. Enter the API URL and API key. You need to obtain these from the AirWatch Console. See Step 4, Log on to the AirWatch Console in the Getting Started Guide.

    For the API URL, remove the “/API” from the end of the URL. For example, change:

    https://orgname.airwlab.com/API

    to

    https://orgname.airwlab.com

  4. Enter the user name and password that you use to log on to your AirWatch administrator account.
    Important:

    If the password for the AirWatch administrator account changes or expires, you must enter the new password on the Mobile Device Management Account Setup page to maintain the integration of AirWatch MDM with the cloud service.

    An alternative to using the administrator account is to create a service account in Active Directory with the password set to never expire. Use the logon name and password for this account instead of the AirWatch administrator account logon credentials.

  5. Click Save Now.
  6. After clicking Save Now and the settings are confirmed and saved successfully, this page then displays a user name and password that have been automatically generated for your hybrid account, along with a connection URL.
    Copy and paste these three items into the VPN connection information section of the AirWatch Console.

Next steps

Should you need to change the credentials for your hybrid account, for example, if they’ve been compromised, you can generate a new user name and password by clicking Advanced Options and then Generate New User Name and Password.

Important:

After clicking Generate New User Name and Password but before clicking Save Now, you must re-enter the password that you use to log on to the AirWatch Console.

You must also enter the new user name and password generated for your hybrid account into the VPN connection information section of the AirWatch Console to maintain the integration of AirWatch MDM with the hybrid solution.
