Deploying Remote Filtering Client
Deploying the Remote Filter Module | Web Filter & Security | v8.0.x, v8.1.x
Remote Filtering Client must be deployed to all Windows or Mac OS X client machines that are used outside the network firewall.
Remote Filtering Client installation packages are created with the Websense Endpoint Package Builder, which can also be used to create and configure installation packages for TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web and TRITON AP-ENDPOINT DLP.
By default, the Package Builder files are installed in the following directory:
Websense\Web Security\DTFAgent\RemoteFilteringAgentPack\
Note that not all of the files and directories are used for all clients, so you may see directories for client operating systems that are not currently supported by Remote Filtering Client.
Before deploying Remote Filtering Client to end user machines, use the Endpoint Package Builder tool to create one or more installation packages.
*
The installation package is used to both deploy Remote Filtering Client to client machines and to configure Remote Filtering Client behavior.
*
You can create multiple installation packages if you need multiple Remote Filtering Client configurations.
See Customizing the client installation package.
Once you have created one or more profiles and its accompanying installation package:
*
If you plan to install the client manually, copy the installation package to any directory on individual client machines (see Installing Remote Filtering Client manually).
*
If you plan to automatically deploy the client via third-party tools, copy the installation package to the appropriate directory on a network server (see Using a third-party deployment tool for Windows)
Remote Filtering Client can be installed on Windows or Mac OS X client machines.
 
* 
Warning 
Do not install Remote Filtering Client on machines running Remote Filtering Server. That combination eventually causes policy enforcement to fail.
