Deployment Planning for X10G Chassis and Blades > Software that runs off-chassis

Software that runs off-chassis

The Websense components mentioned in this section should be installed off-chassis. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 should be installed off-chassis.

Use the TRITON installer from the Downloads page at www.websense.com) to install any of the components mentioned here. (Use version 7.6.2, unless you use Web DLP or hybrid features, which require v7.6.3.) See the Websense Technical Library for more information about components and installation details.

Web components

The following Web components should be installed off-chassis. Some are Windows-only components.

Web Security Log Server (on its own server)

Real-Time Monitor

Sync Service (for sites using hybrid Web security)

Linking Service (for sites using any integrated Data Security features)

Transparent identification agents (to apply user, group, or domain [OU] policies without prompting users for credentials)

DC Agent

Logon Agent

eDirectory Agent

RADIUS Agent

 

Note  If your subscription includes Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere (hybrid cloud features), TRITON Unified Security Center must run on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.

TRITON Unified Security Center

The TRITON Unified Security Center is the Web-browser-based, graphical management application for your entire deployment. It consists of three modules: TRITON - Web Security, TRITON - Data Security, and TRITON - Email Security. Each module is used to configure and manage its respective product features.

Depending on your Websense subscriptions, some or all of these modules will be enabled in your network.

To enable more than one module of the TRITON Unified Security Center—for example, both Web Security and Data Security—you must install TRITON Unified Security Center on a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) machine. TRITON Unified Security Center must be able to reach each blade's C interface.

For more information about the TRITON Unified Security Center and its modules, see the Websense Technical Library.

TRITON Infrastructure

TRITON Infrastructure is comprised of common user interface, logging, and reporting components required by the TRITON modules.

TRITON Infrastructure also (optionally) includes SQL Server 2008 R2 Express that may be used for Websense logging data. As a best practice, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express should be used only in evaluation environments. Full SQL Server should be used in all production environments.

TRITON Infrastructure services include:

Websense TRITON Unified Security Center

Websense TRITON Central Access

Websense TRITON Settings Database

Websense TRITON Reporting Database (if using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express)

TRITON - Web Security

TRITON - Web Security is the console used to perform general configuration tasks, set up filtering policies, assign policies to users and groups, run reports, and other management tasks.

TRITON - Web Security services include:

Websense TRITON - Web Security (formerly ApacheTomcatWebsense)

Websense Web Reporting Tools (formerly Apache2Websense)

Investigative Reports Scheduler

Reports Information Service

Websense RTM Client (if Real-Time Monitor is used)

Websense RTM Database (if Real-Time Monitor is used)

Websense RTM Server (if Real-Time Monitor is used)

The TRITON console with the Web Security module only is pre-installed on blade servers as a convenience for evaluations and demonstrations.

Database management software

Websense Web security products (and optional Email security products on V-Series appliances) require Microsoft SQL Server to host the reporting database, called the Log Database. The Web Security Log Database and the Email Security Log Database can be hosted by the same database engine instance. Information stored in the Log Database is used to create reports.

Before you install Web Security Log Server, SQL Server 2005 or 2008 must be installed and running on a machine in your network. Note that SQL Server must be obtained separately; it is not included with your Websense subscription. Refer to Microsoft documentation for installation and configuration instructions.

If you do not have SQL Server, you can use the Websense Installer to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express for evaluations. SQL Server 2008 R2 Express can be installed either on the same machine as TRITON Unified Security Center or on a separate machine. See the Deployment and Installation Center for installation instructions.

 

Note  Use full SQL Server in production environments. SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is appropriate only for non-production, evaluation environments.
