Follow these instructions to install Data Security management components on the TRITON management server. This includes:

A Data Security policy engine

Primary fingerprint repository

Forensics repository

Endpoint server

It is assumed you have reached this point by starting a TRITON Unified Security Center installation. If not, see Creating a TRITON Management Server.

When the Websense Data Security Installer is launched, a Welcome screen appears. Click Next to begin Data Security installation.


	Note If the .NET 2.0 framework is not found on this machine, the Data Security Installer installs it.

In the Select Components screen, click Next to accept the default selections.


	Note If there is insufficient RAM on this machine for Data Security Management Server components, a message appears. Click OK to dismiss the message. You are allowed to proceed with the installation. However, it is a best practice to install only if you have sufficient RAM.

If prompted, click OK to indicate that services such as ASP.NET and SMTP will be enabled.

Required Windows components will be installed. You may need access to the operating system installation disc or image.

On the Fingerprinting Database screen, accept the default location or use the Browse button to specify a different location.

Note that you can install the Fingerprinting database to a local path only.

If your SQL Server database is on a remote machine, you are prompted for the name of a temporary folder. This screen defines where Data Security should store temporary files during archive processing as well as system backup and restore.

Archiving lets you manage the size of your incident database and optimize performance. Backup lets you safeguard your policies, forensics, configuration, data, fingerprints, encryption keys, and more.

If you do not plan to archive incidents or perform system backup and restore, you do not need to fill out this screen.

Before proceeding, create a folder in a location that both the database and TRITON management server can access. (The folder must exist before you click Next.) On average, this folder will hold 10 GB of data, so choose a location that can accommodate this.

On the Temporary Folder Location screen, complete the fields as follows:

Enable incident archiving and system backup: Check this box if you plan to archive old or aging incidents and perform system backup or restore. This box does not appear when you run the installer in Modify mode and perform a disaster recovery restore operation.

From SQL Server: Enter the path that the SQL Server should use to access the temporary folder. For best practice, it should be a remote UNC path, but local and shared network paths are supported. For example: c:\folder or \\10.2.1.1.\folder. Make sure the account used to run SQL has write access to this folder.

From TRITON Management Server: Enter the UNC path the management server should use to access the temporary folder. For example: \\10.2.1.1.\folder. Enter a user name and password for a user who is authorized to access this location.


	Important The account used to access the SQL Server must have BACKUP DATABASE permissions to communicate with the installer. If it does not, an error results when you click Next.

To grant this permission, issue the following T-SQL commands on the SQL Server instance:

USE master

GRANT BACKUP DATABASE TO <user>

After installation of Data Security components, you can revoke this permission:

USE master

REVOKE BACKUP DATABASE TO <user>

In the Installation Confirmation screen, click Install to begin installation of Data Security components.

If the following message appears, click Yes to continue the installation:

Data Security needs port 80 free.
In order to proceed with this installation, DSS will free up this port.
Click Yes to proceed OR click No to preserve your settings.

Clicking No cancels the installation.

A similar message for port 443 may appear. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel the installation.

The Installation progress screen appears. Wait for the installation to complete.

10.

When the Installation Complete screen appears, click Finish to close the Data Security installer.

11.

If no other TRITON Unified Security Center module is chosen for installation, you are returned to the Modify Installation dashboard. Installation is complete.

Otherwise, you are returned to the Installer Dashboard and the next component installer is launched.
