Specify the Protected Files

After you create a content agent, identify the files and folders that you want the content agent to protect.

Typically, a system administrator works in association with a security auditor to identify sensitive files that need fingerprinting. In this context, a security auditor is someone within your organization with responsibility for preventing data loss.

Note: If you later change or extend the files protected by a specific content agent, you must rebuild the index and republish the content agent.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Administration console, expand the Content Registration branch.
2. Right-click the agent and click Add Location.

   The Add Location dialog appears.

3. Click Add Files or Add Folders to select the items you want to protect.

   Note: CA Data Protection can fingerprint files contained within zipped files.

4. Click OK.

   The files and folders that you selected are listed in the Protected Files and Folders pane.
