Websense secure manual authentication uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect authentication data being transmitted between client machines and Websense software. An SSL server built into Filtering Service provides encryption of user names and passwords transmitted between client machines and Filtering Service. By default, secure manual authentication is disabled.

Note 
Secure manual authentication cannot be used with remote filtering software. The Remote Filtering Server can not serve block pages to clients if it is associated with a Filtering Service instance that has secure manual authentication enabled.
To enable this functionality, you must perform the following steps:
1.
Generate SSL certificates and keys, and place them in a location accessible by Websense software and readable by Filtering Service (see Generating keys and certificates).
2.
Enable secure manual authentication (see Activating secure manual authentication) and secure communication with the directory service.
3.
Import certificates into the browser (see Accepting the certificate within the client browser).
