Customizing DLP User-Related Notifications

These procedures tell how to customize backend files to change the text of user-related notifications.

It is also possible to localize the files to a language other than US English.

  1. On the gateway in $DLPDIR/backend/conf/, edit these files:

    File

    Function

    dictionary_en_us.conf

    Basic dictionary

    about_to_expire_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    data_owners_mail_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    detect_mail_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    expired_owners_mail_tmplt_en_us.html

    expired_sender_mail_tmplt_en_us.html

    failure_mail_notification_en_us.html

    prevent_mail_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    quarantine_mail_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    quota_deleted_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    released_mail_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    Email notifications

  2. Install Policy on the DLP Gateway.

You can edit files to customize UserCheck notifications. For example, to edit the notification in the screenshot, you edit quarantine_smtp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

Example:

  1. On the gateway in $DLPDIR/backend/conf, edit these UserCheck notification files:

    File

    Function

    inform_ftp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    ftp protocol when the action is inform

    inform_http_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    http protocol when the action is inform

    inform_smtp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    smtp protocol when the action is inform

    prevent_ftp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    ftp protocol when the action is prevent

    prevent_http_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    http protocol when the action is prevent

    prevent_smtp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    smtp protocol when the action is prevent

    quarantine_ftp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    ftp protocol when the action is ask

    quarantine_http_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    http protocol when the action is ask

    quarantine_smtp_uc_notification_tmplt_en_us.html

    smtp protocol when the action is ask

  2. Install policy on the DLP Gateway.

Note - Do not change the key because you can use it in more than one place, and a call for a nonexistent key can possibly cause runtime error. Change only the textual content. Use these rules:

  • Keep only HTML.

  • Must not contain double quotes, dollar sign or backslash symbols.

  • Can possibly contain HTML entities.
    For example: " (double quote), $ (dollar sign), \ (backslash)

  1. On the gateway, customize the file $DLPDIR/portal/apache/phpincs/conf/L10N/portal_en_US.php.

  2. To apply the changes, run cpstop and cpstart on the gateway.

  1. Open SmartConsoleClosed Check Point GUI application used to manage a Check Point environment - configure Security Policies, configure devices, monitor products and events, install updates, and so on. > Data Loss PreventionClosed Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway that detects and prevents the unauthorized transmission of confidential information outside the organization. Acronym: DLP. .

  2. From the categories on the left, select Policy.

  3. In a ruleClosed Set of traffic parameters and other conditions in a Rule Base (Security Policy) that cause specified actions to be taken for a communication session. that has notification as part of the Action, right-click Action and select Edit Notification.

  4. Change the notification text.

  5. Install policy on the DLP Gateway.

Important - You loose changes in the files when you upgrade to the higher version. We recommend you keep a copy of the all changes in files, to overwrite upgraded files.

You can localize the text of all user-related notifications to a language other than US English.

Change notification text in email, UserCheck, and portal backend files, and in SmartConsole to the same language.

Note - DLP can detect Data Types in all languages.
