Web Filter, Web Security, Web Security Gateway, and Web Security Gateway Anywhere, v7.8.x

This Web Security installer screen appears if Web Security Log Server is selected for installation and TRITON Infrastructure is not installed on this machine.

Enter the hostname or IP address of the machine on which a supported database engine is running (see System requirements for this version for supported database system information). If a supported database engine is detected on this machine, its IP address is already entered by default. To use a database engine on a different machine, enter its IP address instead.

If you are using SQL Server clustering, enter the virtual IP address of the cluster.

After entering the IP address of the database engine machine, choose how to connect to the database:

Select Trusted connection to use a Windows account to connect to the database. Enter the user name and password of a trusted account with local administration privileges on the database machine. Note that the trusted account you specify here should be the same as that with which you logged onto this machine before starting the Websense installer.

If you use a trusted account, an additional configuration step is required after installation to ensure that reporting data can be displayed in the Web Security manager. See Configuring Websense Apache services to use a trusted connection.

Select Database account to use a SQL Server account to connect to the database. Enter the user name and password for a SQL Server account that has administrative access to the database. The SQL Server password cannot be blank, or begin or end with a hyphen (-).


	Note The database engine must be running to install Websense reporting components. The installer will test for a connection to the specified database engine when you click Next on the Database Information screen. The installer cannot proceed unless a successful connection can be made.
