Filtering Service Communication Screen

Deployment and Installation Center | Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint URL Filtering

This screen appears if Network Agent, a filtering plug-in, or Linking Service (Windows only) is selected for installation.

Enter the IP address of the Filtering Service machine and the port Filtering Service uses to communicate with Content Gateway, Network Agent, or third-party integration products (default is 15868).

If Filtering Service is installed on this machine, enter its actual IP address (not the loopback address).

In an appliance-based deployment, Filtering Service is installed on all web protection appliances (full policy source, user directory and filtering, and filtering only).

Enter the IP address of the appliance's C interface and use the default port (15868).

If you have multiple appliances, be sure to select the one you want Network Agent, the filtering plug-in, or Linking Service to use.

The Filtering Service communication port must be in the range 1024-65535. During installation, Filtering Service may have been automatically configured to use a port other than the default. (This does not apply to appliance-based Filtering Service instances.) To verify the port:

Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default) and open the eimserver.ini file in a text editor.

Locate the WebsenseServerPort value.

When you are finished, close the file without saving. Do not modify the file.

If Filtering Service is not installed anywhere in your network, you must install it before installing Network Agent, a filtering plug-in, or Linking Service.

To install Filtering Service on this machine, click Previous, then add Filtering Service to the components selected for installation.

To install Filtering Service on another machine, run the Forcepoint Security Installer or Web Linux Installer on that machine first, before continuing to attempt installation on the current machine.


	Important Make sure to select the correct integration mode for the Filtering Service instance (standalone or integrated with a supported product).
