Deploying Web Hybrid module components
Deployment and Installation Center | TRITON AP-WEB | v8.0.x
The Web Hybrid module for TRITON AP-WEB offers the ability to combine on-premises and hybrid (cloud or security-as-a-service) policy enforcement.
Two on-premises components are used to enable communication with the hybrid service in the cloud:
*
*
Sync Service
Websense Sync Service is required to send policy updates and user and group information from the on-premises deployment to the hybrid service (in the cloud). Sync Service also retrieves reporting data from the hybrid service and passes it to Log Server so that it can be used in reports.
*
*
*
*
Sync Service must be able to communicate with:
*
*
*
*
*
*
Directory Agent
Websense Directory Agent is required to enable user, group, and domain (OU) based policy enforcement through the hybrid service.
Directory Agent collects user, group, and OU information from a supported directory service and passes it to Sync Service in LDIF format. Sync Service then forwards the information to the hybrid service.
*
*
*
With Websense appliances, Directory Agent is installed on the full policy source or user directory and filtering appliance.
*
*
*
*
Use the Web module of the TRITON Manager to configure the Sync Service connection manually for all supplemental Directory Agent instances.
See Directory Agent and User Service in the Administrator Help for configuration steps.
Directory Agent must be able to communicate with:
*
If your organization uses Windows Active Directory in mixed mode, user and group data cannot be collected and sent to the hybrid service.
*
*
Once configured, Directory Agent collects user and group data from your directory service and sends it to Sync Service in LDIF format. At scheduled intervals, Sync Service sends the user and group information collected by Directory Agent to the hybrid service. Sync Service compresses large files before sending them.
