Smoothwall Cloud Filter

[JATSO]

Hi All,

 

So 1 received instructions for setting cloud filter up in the console but have become stuck on what to choose, TENNANT or MULTITENNANT.

 

Can anyone please let me know which one i choose.

We only have 32 Chromebooks and are unlike to get any more.

 

Thanks

Is your smoothwall set up as a single Tenant or do you have multiple schools running from a series of linked smoothwall (multi Tenant).

 

Your web filter policy page will show different tenants if you are set up multi tenant I think.

Looks like its Tenant.

I applied the settings but the diagnostics failed after the extension was deployed I have copied the results over to Smoothwall support hopefully they can enlighten me why the filtering diagnostics failed.

I may have done something wrong in setting up the extension.

 

Head is not wanting to deploy to home users until filtering is in place.

Still not got this working I was sent some documentation by Smoothwall support that we needed to

 

1. update the device in school - Thats been done

 

Create a directory in the device for Google, did this but the diagnostics showed it failed.

 

See image, can any one shed any light on what i am doing wrong? I think its a permissions issue but what to change.

 

 

Also to do this:

As the Chromebooks are using wifi I presume Option 2 using a Secret Knock is the option to go for.

 

Thanks

That's what I did and but somethings not right.

 

I entered the details as well as linking the JSON file from the Google API but it gives me the sync error.

I am using my GSuite admin account.

The sync error seems to be due to lack of permissions, as seen in the first thumbnail you posted. In this KB https://kb.smoothwall.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004033739 could you check the 2nd part of this section '1 - Configure & Authorize Service Account.'
