The precise steps required to configure the third-party proxy to communicate with ICAP Service vary from product to product.
For Blue Coat SG Series appliances running SGOS 6.2 or later:
1.
Log on to the Management Console and go to Configuration > External Services > ICAP.
2.
Create an ICAP Service with a name like "ForcepointICAP."
3.
Enter the Service URL in the following format:
icap://<ICAP_server_address>/<service_name>
For example:
icap://10.100.57.120/icap
See Configuring ICAP Service for more information about setting or determining the service name.
4.
Under ICAP Service Ports, verify that This service supports plain ICAP connections is selected, and that the Plain ICAP port value is set to 1344 (default).
See Configuring ICAP Service for information about changing the ICAP port.
5.
Under ICAP v1.0 Options, click Sense settings to request settings from ICAP Service.

Note that if you are using Active Directory for user authentication, and use a hostname to identify the Active Directory server, make sure that the hostname resolves to the same IP address for both the third-party proxy and the Forcepoint Security Manager.
Also, if Active Directory is identified by hostname in the proxy, the hostname is what appears in log records, even if Active Directory is identified by IP address in the Forcepoint Security Manager.
