Using the First-time Configuration Wizard

Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x

The Configuration Wizard is available the first time you open your email product after installation. The wizard lets you quickly and easily enter some critical configuration settings before you open the Forcepoint Email Security module user interface.

Click the Email Security module in the Forcepoint Security Manager to display a pop-up box that allows you to enter your subscription key. You can enter your key here, or skip this step and enter your subscription key later on the page Settings > General > Subscription (see Entering and viewing subscription information).

After you click OK in the subscription key pop-up box, a subsequent message box offers a choice of opening the Configuration Wizard or the email dashboard.


	Note If you open the dashboard instead of the wizard, you are presented with an option to open a document containing some helpful configuration settings information. If you decide to skip the Configuration Wizard, you cannot access it later for this appliance.

You can enter the following information in the first-time Configuration Wizard:

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

Domain-based route

Trusted IP addresses for inbound mail

Email Log Server information

System notification email address

To save your settings, review them in the Confirmation page of the Configuration Wizard and click Complete.

If you click Cancel at any time while you are in the Configuration Wizard, any settings you entered up to that point are lost.

A Confirmation page at the end of the wizard lets you review all your settings and modify any of them if desired.

Click Edit next to the item you want to change.

The appropriate wizard page displays.

Make required changes and click OK on the edited page to return to the Confirmation page.

Click Complete when you are finished with your configuration settings to open the email dashboard.
