TRITON Manager 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 (non-compatibility mode)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 standard mode

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 standard mode


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

Mozilla Firefox 4.x–32

Google Chrome 13–38

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


	Note Some animations in TRITON Manager 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 TRITON Manager, do one of the following:

On Windows machines, go to Start > Programs > Websense, and then select TRITON Manager.

Double-click the TRITON Manager 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 TRITON Manager from a remote machine.

After installation, the default user, admin, has full administrative access to all TRITON modules. 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, page 4.


	Note If you are using a local user name created in TRITON Manager 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 TRITON Manager 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 TRITON Manager and accept the security certificate as described above.
