Sync Service
Deployment and Installation Center | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.7.x
Applies to:                                         
*
Web Security Gateway Anywhere, v7.7.x
In Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere deployments, Sync Service:
*
Sends policy updates and user and group information to the hybrid service.
*
Receives reporting data from the hybrid service.
Sync Service is not installed on Websense appliances.
Typically, Sync Service is installed on the Web Security Log Server machine.
 
* 
Important 
There must be only one instance of Sync Service in an entire deployment of Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere.
* 
Note 
If you have a distributed logging deployment (e.g., central office with Web Security Log Server and Log Database; branch offices with their own instances of Log Server that send data to the central office) be sure to install Sync Service so it communicates with the central Log Server instance. Branch instances of Log Server cannot send hybrid logging data to the central Log Server.
Special considerations
To install Sync Service in a software-based deployment, Policy Server must already be installed on the same machine or a networked machine.
In a Websense appliance-based deployment, Policy Server is already installed on any full policy source or user directory and filtering appliance. During installation of Sync Service, when asked for the location of Policy Server, enter the IP address of the C interface on the appropriate appliance in your deployment.
