Configuring eDirectory Agent to use LDAP
Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x
Websense eDirectory Agent can use Netware Core Protocol (NCP) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to get user logon information from Novell eDirectory. By default, eDirectory Agent on Windows uses NCP. On Linux, eDirectory Agent must use LDAP.
If you are running eDirectory Agent on Windows, but want the agent to use LDAP to query Novell eDirectory, set the agent to use LDAP instead of NCP. Generally, NCP provides a more efficient query mechanism.
To set eDirectory Agent on Windows to use LDAP:
1.
Ensure that you have at least one Novell eDirectory replica containing all directory objects to monitor and filter in your network.
2.
Stop the Websense eDirectory Agent service (see Stopping and starting Websense services).
3.
Navigate to the eDirectory Agent installation directory (by default, \Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\bin), and then open the wsedir.ini file in a text editor.
4.
Modify the QueryMethod entry as follows:
QueryMethod=0
This sets the Agent to use LDAP to query Novell eDirectory. (The default value is 1, for NCP.)
5.
Save and close the file.
6.
Restart the Websense eDirectory Agent service.
