Reviewing DC Agent polled domains and domain controllers

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

Use the User Identification > DC Agent Domains and Controllers page to review which domain controllers each DC Agent instance in your network is currently polling.


	Important If the DC Agent Domains and Controllers page displays text explaining that DC Agent is not "polling any domain controllers at this time," see DC Agent Domains and Controllers page is blank.

Typically, the page shows the Domains and Domain Controllers detected by each of the DC Agent Instances in your network.

By default, DC Agent performs its domain discovery process (identifying domains and domain controllers) at startup, and at 24 hour intervals thereafter. Domain and controller information is stored in a file called dc_config.txt (see The dc_config.txt file).

Information displayed on the DC Agent Domains and Controllers page is compiled from each dc_config.txt file in your deployment.

The list includes only domains and controllers that are actively being queried.

If you have disabled queries to a domain controller in the dc_config.txt file, that domain controller is not shown.

Likewise, if you have disabled queries to all domain controllers within a domain, neither the domain nor its controllers are listed.

Information is shown for all of the DC Agent instances in your network.

If the same domain controller is polled by multiple DC Agent instances, each is listed.

To configure different DC Agent instances to poll different domains, update the dc_config.txt file for each instance. See The dc_config.txt file.

The Web Security manager checks for the latest domain and controller information each time you navigate to the DC Agent Domains and Controllers page. This means that if domain discovery is underway while you are viewing the page, you must navigate away, then return to the page to see updates.
