Introducing Forcepoint™

In January, 2016, Raytheon | Websense became Forcepoint LLC.

In this release all TRITON graphical user interfaces have a new look and feel. The colors and logos, as well as the logon screen and most toolbars, have been updated to reflect the Forcepoint brand.

These changes do not affect product functionality.

Over time, branding will be extended to other areas, such as the Help system, as well as to external content, such as the Knowledge Base.

Direct upgrade from v8.1.x, v8.0.x, and v7.8.4

You can upgrade directly to 8.2.0 from any version of 7.8.4, 8.0.x, or 8.1.x.

For upgrade instructions, see the V-Series Upgrade Guide.


	Important Forcepoint V5000 G2R2 Appliance customers may encounter a memory shortage after upgrading to version 8.2 or later. This issue is the result of newer versions of software requiring additional memory, and was only captured under a very heavy load. A DIMM Kit (2 x 8GB) is certified to expand the physical memory of the V5000 G2R2 Appliance. It is now generally available and recommended for V5000 G2R2 deployment moving to versions 8.2 and later. Please contact your sales representatives for purchase information. For more details, see the related Knowledge Base article and the DIMM Kit installation instructions.

Those upgrading from v7.8.4 and earlier need to know that version 8.0 introduced a new, simplified product naming and grouping of the TRITON product line.

V-Series appliance models supported with v8.x

Older V10000 G2 and V5000 G2 appliances, known as revision 1 (or R1) appliances, are not supported with version 8.0.0 and higher. The models stopped shipping:


V10000 G2 R1:	Third quarter, 2011
V5000 G2 R1:	First quarter, 2012

If you plan to upgrade from any version of 7.x to any version of 8.x, you should verify the full hardware platform model of the appliances you plan to upgrade.

In some cases your hardware platform information is available on the Configuration > System page in the Appliance manager. Refer to the System Information box at the top of the page.

This will tell you if you have a V10000 G3 appliance. However, for V10000 G2 and V5000 G2 machines, the summary does not indicate whether the appliance is an R1 or R2 model.

If you have a G2 appliance, use the following steps to determine if it's R1 or R2 hardware.

1.

Record your appliance service tag numbers (STN). You can find the STN printed on the pull out tag on the front of the appliance, behind the bezel (if installed). The STN is a 7 character code (for example: 9DZTBQ1).

2.

Contact Forcepoint Technical Support and request assistance in identifying the full model version of your appliances.

Supported browsers

All TRITON management consoles support the following browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (non-compatibility mode)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 – 11 (standard mode)

Microsoft Edge 15, 20, and 25

Mozilla Firefox versions 4.4 – 44

Google Chrome 13 – 49

TRITON self-signed certificate

When you connect to any TRITON management console—TRITON Manager, V-Series Appliance Manager, and Content Gateway Manager—you are presented with a self-signed certificate. The certificate names Websense, Inc., as the Organization (O). This will change to Forcepoint LLC in a future release.

Because browsers do not recognize Websense, Inc., as a known Certificate Authority, a certificate error is displayed the first time you launch a TRITON management console from a new browser. To avoid seeing this error, install or permanently accept the certificate in the browser. After the security certificate is accepted, the manager logon page is displayed.
