In a software-base deployment, enter the IP address of the machine on which Policy Broker is installed and the port Policy Broker uses to communicate with other Websense components (default is 55880). If it is installed on this machine, enter its IP address (actual address, not loopback).
In an appliance-based deployment, Policy Broker is already installed on an appliance running in
full policy source mode. Enter the IP address of the appliance's C interface and use the default port (55880).
The communication port must be in the range 1024-65535. Policy Broker may have been automatically configured to use a port other than the default 55880 for communication with other Websense components. When Policy Broker is installed, if the installation program finds the default port to be in use, it is automatically incremented until a free port is found. To determine what port is used by Policy Broker, check the
BrokerService.cfg file—located in
C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin (Windows) or
/opt/Websense/bin (Linux)—on the Policy Broker machine. In this file, look for the
listen_port value.
If Policy Broker is not installed yet, anywhere in your network, you must install it before installing any other Websense Web security component. To install it on this machine, click
Previous and select
Policy Broker in addition to already selected components. To install it on another machine, run this installer on that machine.
