Configuring eDirectory Agent
Websense eDirectory Agent works together with Novell eDirectory to transparently identify users so Websense software can filter them according to policies assigned to users, groups, domains, or organizational units.
eDirectory Agent gathers user logon session information from Novell eDirectory, which authenticates users logging on to the network. The agent then associates each authenticated user with an IP address, and records user name-to-IP-address pairings to a local user map. eDirectory Agent then communicates this information to Filtering Service.

Note 
From a Novell client running Windows, multiple users can log on to a single Novell eDirectory server. This associates one IP address with multiple users. In this scenario, eDirectory Agent's user map only retains the user name/IP address pairing for the last user logged on from a given IP address.
One instance of Websense eDirectory Agent can support one Novell eDirectory master, plus any number of Novell eDirectory replicas.
