Linking Service

Applies to

Web Security Gateway Anywhere v7.6

Data Security v7.6

Description

Linking Service allows Web security and data security components to interoperate in the following ways:

Allows Websense Data Security to access user information (collected by User Service) and URL categorization details from Websense Web Security.

Enables shared administrative access to the TRITON - Web Security and TRITON - Data Security modules of the TRITON Unified Security Center.

Linking Service is required if your subscription includes Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere.

Placement

In a Websense appliance-based deployment, Linking Service must be installed on a separate Windows machine. It is not installed on an appliance.

Typically, Linking Service is installed on the TRITON management server.

Special Considerations

Unless you are installing Linking Service at the same time as these components, make sure Filtering Service, User Service, and any transparent identification agents (DC Agent, Logon Agent, or RADIUS Agent) are already installed and running in your deployment.
