Custom configuration for an eDirectory Agent instance
Using eDirectory Agent | Web Protection Solutions | v8.4.x, v8.5.x | 29-Apr-2022
After configuring eDirectory Agent behavior in the Forcepoint Security Manager, you can customize the behavior of a specific eDirectory Agent instance in wsedir.ini, the agent's initialization file.
*
*
*
To use wsedir.ini to configure an agent instance:
1.
2.
Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default) and open wsedir.ini in a text editor.
3.
4.
5.
The parameters and values described in this document are case-sensitive.
Before making changes to the initialization files, please consider that the default values are designed to maximize accuracy and efficiency in most environments. In most cases, Forcepoint recommends leaving the default values as they are.
DebugLevel
Determines the detail level of the eDirectory Agent diagnostic activity. (See definition for DebugMode.)
DebugMode
Controls the eDirectory Agent diagnostic activity.
DN*
Novell eDirectory server administrator name.
Should match the account specified on the Web > Settings > General > Directory Services page in the Forcepoint Security Manager.
LogFile
Output file for eDirectory Agent diagnostic messages.
If you have enabled DebugMode, specify a name for the text file where eDirectory Agent sends diagnostic (log) output.
password*
Novell eDirectory server administrator password.
The password for the Novell eDirectory server administrator account specified via DN*. Should match the password specified on the Web > Settings > General > Directory Services page in the Forcepoint Security Manager.
PollInterval
Interval at which to query Novell eDirectory for user logon sessions.
QueryMethod
Method (NCP or LDAP) used to query Novell eDirectory for user logon sessions, and whether each query is a full query are enabled (see Enabling full queries).
Also determines whether eDirectory Agent performs a full query each time it polls the Novell eDirectory server. Enabling full queries is not recommended in larger networks, because the length of time required to return query results depends on the number of logged on users. The more logged-on users there are, the higher the performance impact.
SearchBase*
Novell eDirectory server root context.
The DN (distinguished name) of your Novell eDirectory root context. This value should match the root context specified on the Web > Settings > General > Directory Services page in the Forcepoint Security Manager.
Server
IP addresses or names of machines running Novell eDirectory.
