Deploying transparent identification agents
Deployment and Installation Center | TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security | v8.0.x
Use Websense transparent identification agents to identify users without prompting them for a user name and password in:
*
*
*
There are 4 transparent identification agents:
*
DC Agent is used with a Windows Active Directory. The agent:
*
*
*
 
Note 
*
*
*
Logon Agent identifies users as they log on to Windows domains. The agent:
*
*
*
*
eDirectory Agent is used with Novell eDirectory. The agent:
*
*
*
*
RADIUS Agent can be used in conjunction with either Windows- or LDAP-based directory services. The agent:
*
*
*
 
Note 
In deployments that cover multiple locations, you can install an agent instance in multiple domains.
For example:
*
One DC Agent instance can handle multiple trusted domains. Add additional instances based on:
*
*
Load results from the number of user logon requests. With a large number of users (10,000+ users, 30+ domains), having multiple DC Agent instances allows for faster identification of users.
If multiple Filtering Services are installed, each Filtering Service instance must be able to communicate with all DC Agent instances.
*
One Logon Agent is required for each Filtering Service instance.
*
One eDirectory Agent is required for each eDirectory Server.
*
One RADIUS Agent instance is required for each RADIUS server.
It is a best practice to install and run RADIUS Agent and the RADIUS server on separate machines. (The agent and server cannot have the same IP address, and must use different ports.)
In some environments, a combination of transparent identification agents may be appropriate within the same network, or on the same machine. See Combining transparent identification agents.
See Installing web protection components for transparent identification agent installation instructions. See the Administrator Help for configuration information.
Combining transparent identification agents
Websense software can work with multiple transparent identification agents. If your environment requires multiple agents, it is best to install them on separate machines.
