Disabling E-mail and Browser Integration - Machine Administration

If required, you can disable e-mail and browser integration when you install CA Data Protection. You can also specify that integration is disabled if, for any reason, the CA Data Protection infrastructure fails to start.

Responding to an infrastructure failure

The 'Infrastructure Failure' setting in the user policy 'System Settings' folder controls how CA Data Protection responds if the infrastructure fails to start. In particular, you can use this setting to disable CA Data Protection integration with all browser and e-mail applications.

Installing with msiexec.exe

When installing CA Data Protection using deployment methods based on msiexec.exe, you can disable browser integration for Windows Explorer and Outlook. In practical terms, this means that if a user surfs the Web using Windows Explorer or Outlook as a browser, CA Data Protection does not monitor this activity. For more information on msiexec.exe parameters supported by CA Data Protection, refer to the Platform Deployment Guide; search for 'msiexec.exe, general'.

Note: Integration with Internet Explorer and email integration with Microsoft Outlook are not affected. CA Data Protection continues to monitor web activity in Internet Explorer and email activity in Outlook as normal.

Editing the user policy

E-mail and browser integration can also be permanently disabled for individual users, or disabled for specific capture or control triggers, by editing their user policy.
