The time it takes to complete the upgrade process for the Data Security Management Server can be reduced if, before upgrading, you move the forensics repository from the default location to a new location on a different machine. Make sure the new location is accessible by the TRITON management server after upgrade.
After upgrading from version 7.1, the version 7.1 forensics repository will exist in addition to the forensics manager. Forensics data can be reached from TRITON - Data Security in the same way as in version 7.1 (not through the forensics manager). There will be a version for each incident which will determine how to get to the forensics.
After upgrade, you must install or permanently accept a new security certificate issued by Websense, Inc. to avoid seeing a certificate error when you first launch TRITON Unified Security Center. The prior-version certificate (accepted when accessing TRITON - Web Security or - Data Security) is no longer valid.
An SSL connection is used for secure, browser-based communication with TRITON Unified Security Center. This connection uses a security certificate issued by Websense, Inc. Because the supported browsers do not recognize Websense, Inc., as a known Certificate Authority, a certificate error is displayed the first time you launch TRITON Unified Security Center from a new browser. To avoid seeing this error, you can install or permanently accept the certificate within the browser. See the
Websense Knowledge Base for instructions.
When upgrading from version 7.5, incorrect fingerprints of Excel files remain. Prior versions of Data Security had a issue when extracting text out of numeric cells in Excel documents. Only the first (most significant) 15-digits of any numeric cell would be fingerprinted.
Although this issue has been resolved in version 7.6, Excel files fingerprinted in previous versions may not be caught by version 7.6 if they contain many numeric fields with more than 15 digits.
Re-fingerprint the relevant files (delete the document fingerprints and start another fingerprinting scan). This assumes that the fingerprinted files still exist on the file servers (or Sharepoint server) to be re-fingerprinted.
The upgrade export tool generates an HTML report describing settings and policies that existed in 7.1 Data Security Suite Management Console. Use this report as a reference to recreate settings that are not upgraded to version 7.6.
If SMTP agent was installed on the version 7.1/7.5 Data Security Management Server, it will no longer be present if you upgrade the Data Security Management Server to a Windows 2008 R2 machine.
