Web Filter and Web Security, v7.5.x
This topic assumes that you have only Websense Web Filter or Web Security (not Web Security Gateway or Gateway Anywhere). If you have one of the Web Security Gateway solutions, you must upgrade to v7.6 before upgrading to v7.7.
Version 7.7 includes a single management console for system configuration, policy management, and reporting for all Websense security solutions.
*
The management console is called the TRITON Unified Security Center (often abbreviated to TRITON console).
*
The Web Security module of the TRITON console is called TRITON - Web Security.
*
All management components run on the same machine, called the TRITON management server.
When upgrading from v7.5, you can upgrade your management console in place, if it is installed on a Windows Server 2008 32-bit machine or a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.
When you upgrade in place, a new component, TRITON Infrastructure, is installed first. This is the piece that ties together all management modules, and allows for centralized configuration of administrator accounts and other shared settings.
Once TRITON Infrastructure is installed, the Web Security management console is upgraded.
If your management components are on Linux, or on Windows 2003 or earlier, you must move management components to a different machine.
*
If management components are on a Linux operating system supported for other Web Security components, you can remove the existing management components during upgrade of the machine (when prompted by the upgrade process), then later create a TRITON management server on a Windows machine.
*
If management components are on an operating system that is not supported in v7.7, you can either:
*
Migrate components to a supported operating system at your existing version, then upgrade to v7.7. See Migrating Web Security to a new operating system.
*
If Policy Broker and Policy Broker are running on an operating system supported in v7.7, optionally uninstall management components before upgrade, perform the upgrade, then create a TRITON management server on a supported Windows machine. See Creating a TRITON Management Server.
