The TRITON console is the central configuration interface used to manage software configuration and settings for your Websense software modules. This Web-based tool runs on the following supported browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (non-compatibility mode)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 (desktop interface only)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (desktop interface only)


	Note If you are using Internet Explorer, make sure Enhanced Security Configuration is switched off.

Mozilla Firefox 4.x and later

Google Chrome 13 and later

Although it is possible to launch the TRITON console using some other browsers, use the supported browsers to receive full functionality and proper display of the application.


	Note Some animations in the TRITON console depend on the browser settings. In Internet Explorer, select the Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Multimedia > Play animation in webpages option to ensure animations display properly.

To launch the TRITON console, do one of the following:

On Windows machines, go to Start > Programs > Websense, and then select TRITON Unified Security Center.

Double-click the TRITON Unified Security Center shortcut placed on the desktop during installation.

Open a supported browser on any machine in your network and enter the following:

https://<IP_address_or_hostname>:9443/triton/

Substitute the IP address or hostname of the TRITON machine. It is recommended that you use the IP address, especially when launching the TRITON console from a remote machine.

After installation, the default user, admin, has full administrative access to all modules of the TRITON console. The account cannot be deleted, and the user name cannot be changed. The admin password is configured during installation.

At the logon page, enter your User name and Password, then click Log On. If your organization is using two-factor authentication, see Logging on with certificate authentication.


	Note If you are using a local user name created in the TRITON console and that user name and password match a network account user name and password, the local account takes precedence.

If you are unable to connect to the TRITON console from a remote machine, make sure that your firewall allows communication on that port.

Windows 7 considerations

If you are using the Windows 7 operating system, you may need to run the browser as administrator for it to allow ActiveX controls.

Right-click the browser application and select Run as administrator.

Log on to the TRITON console and accept the security certificate as described above.

Adobe Flash Player

Adobe Flash Player v8 or beyond is required for the Data Security, Web Security, and Email Security dashboards. All the other functions of the TRITON console can operate without Flash. If you do not already have Flash Player, you are prompted to install it when you log on. Click the link that is supplied and download Flash Player from the Adobe download center.
