Big picture

You need an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 installed and running off-chassis in your network, for the Websense reporting database.

TRITON unified installer

A few Websense components (such as the TRITON management console and reporting Log Server) also run off the chassis and must be installed separately.

The installer for the off-chassis components is named WebsenseTRITON762Setup.exe.

This installer is located on the Downloads page at www.websense.com. Be sure to read the one-page Save-Me-Time tips in the 7.6.2 downloads area.

Policy source

One security blade (or off-chassis server; at your choice) must be chosen and configured to host the Policy Database and Policy Broker for your network. This server is known as the policy source. If you use a blade server for the policy source, best practice is to use the blade in slot 1.

Each security blade in the chassis must then be configured to point to the blade (or other server) that hosts Policy Database and Policy Broker.

The general sequence of events:

1.	Plan your coverage. Each blade server should be assigned to filter an appropriate domain, based on traffic volume.

2.	Ensure that one copy of Microsoft SQL Server is installed and running off-chassis (for Websense reporting). Keep at hand the location and the authentication information for this database server.

3.	Download the Websense TRITON installer version 7.6.2 for installing off-chassis components.

4.	Next, identify and configure the policy source machine for your network. You can use a blade for the policy source, or an off-chassis server. The policy source machine runs all filtering components, and is the only machine to run Policy Database and Policy Broker..

5.	Configure all other blades that will run Websense filtering components.

6.	Use the Custom installation option of the TRITON Windows installer to install additional copies of filtering compinents (if desired) off the chassis.

7.	Use the Custom installation option to install the TRITON Web Security management console and associated components on a Windows server off the chassis.

8.	Use the Custom installation option to install the Websense reporting components off the chassis. Log Server can be located on the same server with the TRITON management console.
