Web Filter and Web Security, v7.7.x

Upgrade Websense software and remove Filtering Service
*
Reinstall Filtering Service
*
Install the Websense ISAPI Filter Plug-In
You can convert an existing standalone deployment of Websense Web Security or Web Filter to one that is integrated with TMG, without losing any configuration settings. The conversion process preserves such settings as policies, port numbers, and IP addresses.
The main steps are:
1.
Upgrade to the current version of Websense software as a standalone deployment.
2.
Restart the installation machine.
3.
Uninstall Filtering Service, then reinstall it in integrated mode, selecting Forefront TMG as the integration product. See Upgrade Websense software and remove Filtering Service.
4.
Enable authentication so that users can be properly identified and filtered. For instructions, see User identification and authentication with Forefront TMG.
Upgrade Websense software and remove Filtering Service
1.
Use the Websense Backup Utility to back up the Websense configuration and initialization files. See the TRITON - Web Security Help for instructions.
2.
If you have not done so, upgrade your Websense software to the current version.
After installing, it is a good idea to run the Backup Utility again to have a baseline for your upgraded software.
3.
Make sure Websense software is running. The uninstaller looks for Policy Server during the removal process.
 
* 
Warning 
Do not remove Websense components when the associated Policy Server is stopped. If Policy Server is not running, files for the selected components are removed, but configuration information is not updated. Problems could occur later if you attempt to reinstall these components.
4.
Uninstall Filtering Service.
See Removing Web Security components for instructions. Be sure to remove only Filtering Service.
Reinstall Filtering Service
After Filtering Service is removed, reinstall it to integrate with TMG.
See Adding Web Security components for instructions. As you follow those instructions do the following on the screens noted below:
*
On the Select Components screen, select Filtering Service.
*
On the Integration Option screen, select Integrated with another application or device.
*
On the Select Integration screen, select Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
Install the Websense ISAPI Filter Plug-In
Next, install the ISAPI Filter plug-in on the TMG machine. This plug-in allows Websense software and TMG to communicate. For instructions, see Installing the ISAPI Filter plug-in for Forefront TMG.
