Web Filter and Web Security, v7.7.x
Cisco Content Engine can regulate Internet activity either transparently or explicitly. In transparent mode, the firewall or Internet router is configured to send Internet requests to the Cisco Content Engine, which queries Filtering Service. All configuration changes can be performed through the Content Engine and any connected firewalls or routers, with no special configuration required on client computers. To run transparently, you must enable WCCP on both the Content Engine and the firewall or router.
When regulating Internet activity explicitly, Web browsers on all client computers are configured to send Internet requests to the Content Engine. See Cisco Content Engine documentation for instructions.
To prevent users from circumventing Websense filtering, your firewall or Internet router should be configured to allow outbound HTTP and FTP requests only from the Cisco Content Engine.
To set up promptless browser authentication for NTLM or LDAP, refer to Cisco documentation.

If you have several Content Engines running in a cluster, you must configure each Content Engine to use Filtering Service as an HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP filter. Several Content Engines can use the same Filtering Service. See Cisco Content Engine documentation for details on setting up a cluster.
