Deploying and configuring eDirectory Agent
Using eDirectory Agent | Web Security Solutions | Versions 7.7 and 7.8
eDirectory Agent needs to be installed on only 1 machine in the network. However, if your network is very large, you may benefit from installing the agent on multiple machines. This way, you have ample space for files that are continually populated with user information, and the user identification process is faster.
In most cases, you need only 1 Filtering Service that communicates with every instance of eDirectory Agent. If you have installed multiple Filtering Services for load-balancing purposes, each Filtering Service must be able to communicate with every eDirectory Agent.
 
* 
Note 
eDirectory Agent can not be used in combination with DC Agent.
Special deployment considerations
*
If you have integrated Cisco Content Engine v5.3.1.5 or higher with Websense software:
*
Run the following Websense services on the same machine as Cisco Content Engine:
Websense eDirectory Agent
Websense User Service
Websense Filtering Service
Websense Policy Server
*
Ensure that all Novell eDirectory replicas are added to the wsedir.ini file on the same machine.
*
Delete the eDirAgent.bak file.
Run Websense management and reporting components on a machine separate from Cisco Content Engine.
*
Websense software supports using NMAS with eDirectory Agent. To use eDirectory Agent with NMAS enabled, eDirectory Agent must be installed on a machine that is also running the Novell client.
