The purpose of this guide is to provide basic implementation for Forms Based Authentication.
Forms based authentication is the default authentication type for DLP. However, if you are having problems configuring another authentication type, you can always quickly and easily revert back to Forms based authentication by simply restoring the Forms based template file and restarting the services.
Authentication Templates Location: C:\Program Files\Symantec\DataLossPrevention\EnforceServer\<DLP Version>\Protect\tomcat\webapps\ProtectManager\WEB-INF\security\template
Template Files:
- SpringSecurityContext-Certificate.xml
- SpringSecurityContext-Form.xml
- SpringSecurityContext-Kerberos.xml
- SpringSecurityContext-SAML.xml
To restore Forms based authentication, you will need to copy the "SpringSecurityContext-Form.xml" into the working location...
C:\Program Files\Symantec\DataLossPrevention\EnforceServer\16.1.00000\Protect\tomcat\webapps\ProtectManager\WEB-INF
You will see an existing "SpringSecurityContext.xml" file, this is what is currently being used. This should be renamed, let's call it "SpringSecurityContext-old.xml".
Now, simply rename the "SpringSecurityContext-Form.xml" to "SpringSecurityContext.xml", then restart the services. No other changes should be required, this will restore you back to Forms Based Authentication.
