V-Series Appliance Administration

As a best practice, appliance administrators should create a mywebsense.com account when they first set up the appliance. MyWebsense is a customer portal where administrators can download product updates, get patches and hotfixes, access customer forums, read product news, and access other technical support resources for Websense software and appliances.

Using Appliance manager administration features

The Administration pages in the Appliance manager can be used to:

Install software patches (see V-Series appliance patch management).

Install software hotfixes (see V-Series appliance hotfix management).

Prepare and restore backups of your appliance configuration, Web modules, and Email module (see Using the V-Series appliance backup utility).

Access system logs for all active modules (see V-Series appliance log files).

Customize block pages, enable remote access to the appliance command-line interface, and launch the command-line utility (see V-Series appliance tools).

Change the Appliance manager or Content Gateway manager admin password (see Account management).
