When you have installed the Management Client on your own computer, you can configure the Management Client to use a copy of the online Help from your own computer or from a server in the local network.

1. Download the online Help .zip file for your release from http://⁠help.stonesoft.com/onlinehelp/StoneGate/SMC/.
2. Extract the .zip file to a suitable location in your local network.
   You can also extract the Help file to a share or your local intranet server.
3. On the computer where you use the Management Client, browse to the <user home>/.stonegate/data folder.
   Example: In Windows, browse to C:\Users\<user_name>\.stonegate.
   Note: If the Management Client is open, close it before editing the SGClientConfiguration.txt file.
4. Edit the SGClientConfiguration.txt file.
5. Add a parameter HELP_SERVER_URL= and enter the path to the main folder under which the online Help files are stored as the value for the parameter.
   • If you extracted the online Help on the same computer where you use the Management Client, enter file:/// and the path.

     Example: If you extracted the online Help on your own computer to C:\help\ngfw_xxx_help_en-us, enter HELP_SERVER_URL=file:///C:/help/ngfw_xxx_help_en-us.

     Note: Use only forward slashes (/) in the URL even if the operating system uses backslashes (\) in file paths. If the path contains spaces, replace them with %20 in the URL.
   • If you extracted the online Help on a server in the local network, enter http:// and the path.

     Example: If you extracted the online Help to a folder called ngfw_xxx_help_en-us on an intranet server, enter HELP_SERVER_URL=http://<intranet.server>/ngfw_xxx_help_en-us.

6. Save the changes to the SGClientConfiguration.txt file.
7. Start the Management Client.

When you use SMC Web Access, you can configure the Management Server or Web Portal Server to use a local copy of the Online Help for Management Client sessions in a web browser.

1. Download the online Help .zip file for your release from http://⁠help.stonesoft.com/onlinehelp/StoneGate/SMC/.
2. On the Management Server or Web Portal Server host where SMC Web Access is enabled, create the following folder: <smc_installation_folder>/webserver/webswing/main/Help.
3. Copy the online Help .zip file to the <smc_installation_folder>/webserver/webswing/main/Help folder and extract the content.
4. (Linux only) Recursively change the owner of the <smc_installation_folder>/webserver/webswing/main/Help directory to the sgadmin user.
   Example: # chown -R sgadmin:sgadmin /usr/local/forcepoint/smc/webserver/webswing/main/Help/
5. On the Management Server or Web Portal Server host where SMC Web Access is enabled, browse to the <smc_installation_folder>/data folder.
   Note: If the SMC is installed in the C:\Program Files folder in Window, the SGClientConfiguration.txt file is located in the C:\ProgramData folder.
6. Edit the SGClientConfiguration.txt file.
7. Add a parameter HELP_SERVER_URL=https://<SMC_Web_Access_IP>:<Web_Access_port>/Help/
   Example: If the IP address of the Management Server is 192.168.100.55 and the listening port for SMC Web Access is 8085, enter HELP_SERVER_URL=https://192.168.100.55:8085/Help/
8. Save the changes to the SGClientConfiguration.txt file.
9. Exit your Management Client session and open new session.
