Description

This installer screen appears if Filtering Service is selected for installation.

Indicate whether this is a stand-alone or integrated installation, and then click Next.

Stand-alone: Websense software will not be integrated with a third-party product. Websense Network Agent monitors all Internet requests and sends them to Websense Filtering Service. Network Agent also sends block messages to users attempting to access filtered content.

 

Note  In a stand-alone environment, Network Agent must be installed (either on this machine or a networked machine). See Deploying Network Agent for more information.

Integrated with another application or device: Websense software is installed in integrated mode, ready to integrate with a third-party firewall, proxy server, cache, or network appliance, referred to as an integration product (for example, Microsoft ISA Server or Cisco PIX Firewall).The integration product queries Websense Filtering Service to determine whether to allow Internet requests. Filtering Service sends block pages, if necessary, to users attempting to access filtered content. In an integrated environment, Websense Network Agent is used only to filter requests on Internet protocols not managed by the integration product (for example, protocols for instant messaging). Network Agent sends block messages and alerts when necessary. Refer to the Websense Technical Library (www.websense.com/library) for more information.

 

Note  In an integrated environment, Network Agent is optional.
