Description

This screen appears if Remote Filtering Server is selected for installation.

Internal IP address: Enter the actual IP address of the Filtering Service machine to be used by this instance of Remote Filtering Server.

Filtering port and Block page port: The filtering port is used by Filtering Service to communicate with other Websense components. The block page port is used by Filtering Service to send block pages to client machines. These ports must be in the range 1024-65535. These ports must be open on any firewall between the Remote Filtering Server and Filtering Service.

Filtering Service may have been automatically configured to use ports other than the default 15868 (filtering port) and 15871 (block page port). When Filtering Service is installed, the installation program checks whether these default ports are already in use on that machine. If either is already in use, the port is automatically incremented until a free port is found.

To find the ports used by Filtering Service, check the eimserver.ini file—located in C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\bin (Windows) or /opt/Websense/bin (Linux)—on the Filtering Service machine. Look for the WebsenseServerPort (filtering port) and BlockMsgServerPort (block page port) values.

 

Important  Do not modify the eimserver.ini file.

Translated IP address: Use this box to provide the translated IP address of Filtering Service if it is behind a network-address-translating device. You must check A firewall or other network device performs address translation between Remote Filtering Server and Filtering Service to activate this box.
