Installation overview
The number of steps required to install Websense Web Security Solutions depends on the hardware platforms used in your environment, the size of your network, and how widely you plan to deploy components.
As a best practice, for software component installation, log in as a domain and local administrator to run the installer.
At simplest, a software installation requires you to:
1.
Download the TRITON Unified Installer (WebsenseTRITON781Setup.exe).
2.
3.
Select the Web Security All installation option.
All components required for a basic Websense Web Security deployment are installed on the selected machine, including the TRITON Unified Security Center and, if no other Microsoft SQL Server instance is identified in your network, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express.
A simple appliance deployment requires you to:
1.
Run the firstboot script and configure the full policy source appliance.
2.
Download the TRITON Unified Installer (WebsenseTRITON781Setup.exe).
3.
4.
Select the TRITON Unified Security Center radio button, and the Web Security check box beneath it.
Installing the TRITON Unified Security Center requires Microsoft SQL Server. If an existing SQL Server instance is not available, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express is installed.
5.
Run the TRITON Unified Installer again (on the TRITON Management Server or another machine) and select Custom, then Web Security to install off-appliance components that are not part of the TRITON console, like transparent identification agents.
For a typical software deployment, expect to run the TRITON Unified Installer (or the TRITON Unified Installer plus the Web Security Linux Installer) on at least 3 machines:
1.
Use the TRITON Unified Installer or Web Security Linux Installer to perform a Custom installation for core filtering components (Policy Broker, Policy Server, Filtering Service, Network Agent, User Service, Usage Monitor) on a supported Windows or Linux machine.
2.
Use the TRITON Unified Installer to perform a TRITON Unified Security Center > Web Security installation to install core management components and reporting tools on a supported Windows machine.
Installing the TRITON Unified Security Center requires Microsoft SQL Server. If an existing SQL Server instance is not available, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express is installed.
3.
Use the TRITON Unified Installer to perform a Custom > Web Security installation of Web Security Log Server on a supported Windows machine.
Start-to-finish installation instructions covering most typical deployments are available in PDF format:
