eDirectory Agent works with Novell® eDirectory™ to identify users transparently so that Websense software can filter them according to policies assigned to users or groups. eDirectory Agent gathers user logon session information from Novell eDirectory, which authenticates users logging on to the network. It then associates each authenticated user with an IP address and works with User Service to supply the information to Filtering Service.

Do not install eDirectory Agent on the same machine as DC Agent or Logon Agent, because this can cause conflicts. Also, do not use eDirectory Agent in a network in which DC Agent or Logon Agent is used.
