Policy Broker manages policy and configuration information required by other Websense Web Security components. The information is stored in the Policy Database, which is installed automatically with Policy Broker.

In a Websense appliance-based deployment, Policy Broker resides on the full policy source appliance.

During a custom installation, if Policy Broker is not found on the current machine, it appears as a component you can install. Before selecting it, however, make sure that it is not already installed on another server or appliance. Do not install more than one Policy Broker.

Important

There can be only one instance of Policy Broker in the entire deployment.

Policy Broker must be installed first, before any other Websense Web Security component.

If you select other components to install along with Policy Broker, they will be installed in the proper order.
