Custom configuration for a DC Agent instance
Using DC Agent | Web Security Solutions | v7.7, 7.8
Many of the DC Agent settings configured in the Web Security manager apply to all agent instances in your deployment. You can, however, configure settings unique to a DC Agent instance by creating a configuration file called transid.ini.
Note that not all user identification settings can be overridden. See DC Agent initialization parameters for descriptions of the parameters that can be set or changed in the configuration file.
1.
Use a text editor to create a file called transid.ini, then save the file in the Websense bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin, by default).
2.
Add the following heading to the beginning of the file:
[DCAgent]
3.
Under the heading, enter the parameter to customize for this agent instance. For example, configure the agent to ignore user names that contain a dollar sign:
AllDollarSign=True
4.
Add other values as desired.
5.
Save and close the INI file.
6.
Use the Windows Services dialog box to stop the Websense DC Agent service.
7.
Delete the XidDcAgent.back file from the Websense bin directory.
The file is recreated when you start the Websense DC Agent service.
8.
Start the Websense DC Agent service.
