Initial configuration
There are 2 main deployment options for Websense Web Filter and Web Security:
1.
For evaluation, or for very small (or low traffic) deployments, install all components on one server, using the Web Security All installation option.
2.
For most production environments, install components distributed across multiple servers, as shown in the high-level illustration below.
Websense Web Security and Web Filter can run in either standalone or integrated mode:
*
In standalone mode, Websense Network Agent monitors Internet activity and works with Websense Filtering Service to permit or block requests.
*
In integrated mode, a supported third-party proxy, firewall, or caching product communicates with Websense Filtering Service to evaluate whether the Internet requests passing through it should be blocked or permitted.
A Microsoft SQL Server database is used to store Websense reporting data.
*
In most deployments, SQL Server Standard or Enterprise must be already installed and running on its own machine.
*
For evaluation, or for very small (or low traffic) networks, the Websense installer can be used to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. SQL Server Express can run on the TRITON management server, or on its own machine.
The TRITON management server hosts the Web-based management console (the TRITON Unified Security Center), including both infrastructure and TRITON - Web Security components. The TRITON Unified Security Center (TRITON console) is used to configure, manage, and report on your Websense software.

Web Security All installation
An all-in-one Websense Web Security installation may be used for evaluation purposes, or in very small (or low traffic) networks. For most production environments, it is preferable to distribute Web Security components across multiple servers.
To perform a Web Security All installation, see:
1.
Preparing for installation
2.
Obtaining Microsoft SQL Server
3.
Installing via the Web Security All option
Distributed Web Security installation
A standard Websense Web Filter or Web Security installation involves placing components on 3 or more machines.
To perform a standard installation:
1.
Verify that all prerequisites are met (see Preparing for installation).
2.
Make sure that Microsoft SQL Server is installed in your network (see Obtaining Microsoft SQL Server).
3.
Install filtering components on one or more machines.
*
For Windows, see Installing Web Security components.
*
For Linux, see Installing Web Security Components on Linux.
*
For V-Series appliances, see Installing appliance-based Websense solutions.
Important: Install Policy Broker, Policy Server, and Filtering Service or the full policy source appliance before installing other components.
4.
Install Websense Log Server to enable reporting (see Installing Web Security components).
5.
Install TRITON management server components (see Creating a TRITON Management Server).
