Transparent identification of remote users

In certain configurations, Websense software can transparently identify users logging on to your network from remote locations:

If you have deployed the Websense Remote Filtering Server and Remote Filtering Client, Websense software can identify any off-site user logging on to a cached domain using a domain account. For more information, see Filter Users Off Site.

Note  If you are have configured hybrid filtering for off-site users, manual authentication is required. With hybrid filtering, you can identify users transparently only when they are connecting from a filtered location. See Configure user access to hybrid filtering for more information.

If you have deployed DC Agent, and remote users directly log on to named Windows domains in your network, DC Agent can identify these users (see DC Agent).

If you are using a RADIUS server to authenticate users logging on from remote locations, RADIUS Agent can transparently identify these users so you can apply filtering policies based on users or groups (see RADIUS Agent).
