Description

This installer screen appears if Policy Server, Sync Service, or Directory Agent is selected for installation, but Policy Broker is not.

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 the appliance designated full policy source. 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 or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\bin (Windows) or /opt/Websense/bin (Linux)—on the Policy Broker machine. In this file, look for the listen_port value.

 

Important  Do not modify the BrokerService.cfg file.

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.
