Password specification

The password can be automatically generated by the system or specified in the subject of the email.

Automatic password generation: This occurs if Allow sender to specify a password is not checked.

If Allow sender to specify a password is checked, the user must include the password in the subject line of the email. There are two options for inclusion:

If the rule specifies a trigger word, the password follows this in the subject line.

If the rule does not specify a trigger word, you must add a prefix that is used to identify the password in the subject prefix field. Note this is different from the trigger in that it is not a criterion for rule execution.

The password must consist of alphanumeric characters only. Both the prefix and password must be followed by a space and the password must be enclosed in parentheses ( ). Both are stripped from the email by Forcepoint Email Security Cloud.

For example, to trigger standard encryption with a specified password from a message with the following subject:

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud test of standard encryption

You would augment the message subject as follows:

ENCRYPT (xyz987) Forcepoint Email Security Cloud test of standard encryption


	Note The subject prefix field is available only when the Where the subject begins with box is not checked.
