Description

This installer screen appears if any of the following is selected for installation but Policy Server is not:

Filtering Service	RADIUS Agent
Network Agent	Logon Agent
Usage Monitor	Remote Filtering Server
User Service	Sync Service
eDirectory Agent	Directory Agent

It is assumed Policy Server is installed on another machine. Enter the IP address of the machine and the port Policy Server uses to communicate with other Websense components (default is 55806). If this is a Websense-appliance-based deployment, Policy Server is already installed on the Web-security-mode appliance designated policy source. In this case, enter the IP address of the appliance's C interface for the Policy Server IP address.

The port used by Policy Server to communicate with other Websense components must be in the range 1024-65535. In a software-based deployment, Policy Server may have been automatically configured to use a port other than the default 55806. When Policy Server 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 Server, check the websense.ini file—located in C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\bin (Windows) or /opt/Websense/bin (Linux)—on the Policy Server machine. In this file, look for the PolicyServerPort value.

 

Important  Do not modify the websense.ini file.

If Policy Server is not installed yet, anywhere in your network, you must install it before installing any of the components listed above. To install it on this machine, click Previous and select Policy Server in addition to already selected components. To install it on another machine, run this installer on that machine (prior to installing components on this machine).
