DC Agent initialization parameters
Using DC Agent | Web Security Solutions | v7.7, 7.8
All parameters and values are case-sensitive.
Before creating or updating the transid.ini file, please consider that the default values are designed to maximize accuracy and efficiency in most environments. In most cases, Websense, Inc., recommends leaving the default values as they are.
AllDollarSign
Prompts DC Agent to ignore logon sessions from any user names that contain a dollar sign character ($).
DiagServerPort
The port on which Websense diagnostic tools listen for data from DC Agent.
DiscoverInterval
Interval at which the domain auto-discovery process runs, in seconds (equivalent to the Identify domains every value under Domain Discovery in the Web Security manager). The default is 86400 seconds, or 24 hours.
IgnoreDollarSign
Enables DC Agent to ignore logons from user names containing dollar signs ($).
Used to prevent a problem involving Windows 2000 services that use a machine name followed by a dollar sign (wkstn$) as a user name when contacting the domain controller. DC Agent interprets the service as a new user to whom no policy has been assigned.
When this parameter is set to True, if DC Agent detects a user$ entry in its map, it compares the name to the source machine's name. If these match, DC Agent ignores the logon session entirely, because it knows the logon did not originate from an actual user.
When the parameter is set to False, if DC Agent detects a user$ entry in its map, the agent attempts to replace it with an actual user name from the source machine. If DC Agent does not obtain an actual user name, it records the user$ entry in its map.
IgnoreLocalLogins
Determines whether DC Agent registers local (non-domain) user logons to local client machines.
IgnoreRepeats
Determines whether DC Agent re-records user logon sessions that it already recorded at the time of the previous query.
IPCleanInterval
Interval at which DC Agent checks its cache for stale machine name/IP address pairs, in seconds.
IPCleanLifetime
The amount of time a machine name/IP address pair remains in DC Agent's cache before it is removed, in seconds.
MaxIgnoreListSize
The maximum number of entries (user names, user name/machine name pairs, and machine names) in DC Agent's ignore.txt file.
If you use an ignore.txt file to configure DC Agent to ignore particular users or client machines, this parameter sets an upper limit on the number of entries in the file.
password
The password DC Agent uses to authenticate connections from other Websense components. (Equivalent to Password under Enable authentication in the Web Security manager.)
port
The port over which Filtering Service connects to DC Agent. (Equivalent to Port in the Web Security manager.)
QueryInterval
The interval at which DC Agent queries domain controllers, in seconds. (Equivalent to the Query interval value under Domain Controller Polling in the Web Security manager.)
StartDelay
Time period by which to delay DC Agent service initialization to allow diagnostic routines to start first.
UseNetBIOS
Whether to use NetBIOS to perform domain controller machine name lookups.
Set this parameter to True to cause DC Agent to use only NetBIOS to identify domain controllers.
UseUserService
Whether to use Websense User Service or Windows networking calls to communicate with domain controllers. (Equivalent to selecting User Service as the component to use for domain discovery in the Web Security manager.)
VerifyUserDomain
Whether to make sure that a user exists in a particular domain as indicated by domain controller polling results.
When this parameter is set to False, DC Agent may not update its user map right away if a user account is moved from one domain to another.
