Remote Filtering Client:

Identifies the machines as clients to be filtered.

Communicates with Remote Filtering Server, installed inside the organization's firewall.

Placement

Deploy the Remote Filtering Client to machines you want filtered when they are outside your network.

Special Considerations

The Remote Filtering Client is deployed by copying an MSI installer package to user machines or using a third-party deployment tool. See the Remote Filtering Software technical paper for instructions.

The Remote Filtering Client is obtained by installing the Remote Filtering Client Pack on a Windows machine. Run the Websense installer in custom mode to install the Remote Filtering Client Pack.This places an MSI installer package in the following location on the installation machine: C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\DTFAgent\RemoteFilteringAgentPack\NO_MSI\CPMClient.msi). This package is used to deploy the Remote Filtering Client to user machines.

Note  If installing Remote Filtering Server on a Windows machine, install Remote Filtering Client Pack along with it. However, do not deploy the Remote Filtering Client on the machine. Simply install the Remote Filtering Client pack so you can deploy it from the Remote Filtering Server machine.

Before deploying the Remote Filtering Client on Windows Vista machines, make sure User Account Control (UAC) is disabled and that you are logged on to the machine as a local administrator.
