The Connection tab of the Log Server Configuration Utility contains options for creating and maintaining a connection between Log Server and Websense Web Security filtering components. The tab also provides a simple method for stopping and restarting the Log Server service.

1.	Accept the default Log Server input port (55805) or enter another available port.

This is the port over which the Log Server communicates with Filtering Service. The port entered here must match the port entered on the Settings > General > Logging page in TRITON - Web Security.

2.	Enter a number of hours as the User/Group update interval to specify how often Log Server should contact the directory service for updates.

Log Server contacts the directory service to obtain updated information, such as full user name and group assignments, about the users with records in the Log Database.

Activity for a user whose group has changed continues to be reported with the previous group until the next update occurs. Organizations that update their directory service frequently or have a large number of users should consider updating the user/group information more frequently than the default of 12 hours.

3.	Click Apply to save any changes.

4.	Use the button in the Service Status area to Start or Stop Log Server. The label of the button changes to reflect the action that will occur when you click it.

Note  No Internet access activity can be logged when Log Server is stopped.

Changes made in the Log Server Configuration Utility do not take effect until you stop and restart Log Server.
