v8.5.4 Release Notes for the Forcepoint Security Manager : New in the Forcepoint Security Manager
New in the Forcepoint Security Manager
Release Notes | Web, Data, and Email Security Solutions | 22-Jul-2019
Version 8.5.4 provides the following change for Forcepoint Security solutions.
Microsoft SQL Server Express Installation
Forcepoint has removed the ability to install Microsoft SQL Server Express as an option for new deployments of Forcepoint Security Manager. This change was introduced via a revised version of the Forcepoint Security Installer introduced in July 2019.
The change was required to reduce the risk of deploying SQL Express without the latest security updates. Forcepoint Security Manager still supports and will work with the latest version of SQL Server Express.
You may use SQL Server Express for small deployments, but it must be installed independently.
Supported browsers for the Security Manager
For the full list of supported browsers in this version, see the Certified Product Matrix.
When you connect to the Security Manager, you are presented with a self-signed certificate. The certificate names Forcepoint LLC as the Issuer. Because browsers do not recognize Forcepoint LLC as a known Certificate Authority, a certificate error is displayed the first time the Security Manager is launched 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 logon page is displayed.
