Description

In Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere deployments, Directory Agent collects user and group information from a configured directory service for use in filtering by the hybrid service.

Placement

In a Websense appliance-based deployment, Directory Agent is already installed on a Web security-mode appliance running in full policy source or user directory and filtering mode. Typically, only one instance of Directory Agent should be installed in an entire deployment.

Special Considerations

When installing Directory Agent, Policy Server must already be installed on the same machine or a networked machine.

While typically only one instance of Directory Agent should be operating in a deployment, it is possible to install multiple Directory Agent instances. But specific configuration is necessary for them to operate properly. For more information see the TRITON - Web Security Help.
