Upgrading Remote Filtering Client with a third-party deployment tool
Deploying the Remote Filter Module | Forcepoint URL Filtering | v8.4.x, v8.5.xx
To deploy the new version of the Remote Filtering Client to Windows client machines:
1.
Create the installation package as described in Customizing the client installation package.
2.
If you are using a tool like GPO and want to deploy a MSI file rather than an EXE file, use a file compression tool like 7-Zip, WinZip, or WinRAR to extract the contents of the installation package.
This exposes the Websense Endpoint.msi file and its support files.
3.
Use a third-party deployment tool (such as Microsoft GPO or SMS) to deploy the uncompressed installation package to the client machines. For example:
*
EXE file:
TRITONAP-ENDPOINT-x32.exe /v"/quiet /norestart"
*
MSI file:
msiexec /package /v"XPSWDRF=<password> \\path\Websense Endpoint.msi" /quiet /norestart
Here, "<password>" is the anti-tampering password specified during installation of the previous Remote Filtering Client version, and "path" is the full path to the directory containing the MSI and its support files.
Supported upgrade parameters and arguments include:
/v
Used to pass arguments that affect endpoint client deployment.
Note that the arguments must be enclosed in straight quotes.
/quiet
Upgrade the endpoint client in the background, without prompting the end user.
/norestart
Do not restart the client machine when the endpoint client has finished being upgraded.
After upgrading the Remote Filtering Client on remote computers:
1.
Open the Web Security module of the Forcepoint Security Managerr.
2.
Go to the Settings > General > Remote Filtering page.
3.
Review and update the settings on this page, as needed.
4.
Click OK to cache your changes.
5.
Click Main > Policy Management > Filters.
6.
Review and update category filters, as needed, to account for the fact that remote clients are now filtered for HTTPS and FTP, as well as HTTP sites.
If you do not want remote filtering software to filter HTTPS requests, FTP requests, or both, see Configuring remote filtering to ignore HTTPS or FTP for instructions on disabling this functionality.
7.
Click OK to cache any changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
