Policy Server, Filtering Service, and State Server
Policy Server is responsible for identifying other Websense software components and tracking their status.
When you log on to the Web Security manager, you are logging onto a graphical interface to Policy Server.
*
You cannot log on to the Web Security manager until it is configured to communicate with Policy Server.
*
If your Websense software installation includes multiple Policy Servers, you can switch between Policy Server instances after logging on to the Web Security manager.
*
You can add and remove Policy Server instances within the Web Security manager.
Communication between the Web Security manager and one Policy Server instance is established during installation.
Many environments require only one Policy Server. A single Policy Server can communicate with multiple Filtering Service and Network Agent instances for load balancing. In very large organizations (10,000+ users), however, it may help to install multiple instances of Policy Server. If you install additional Policy Servers, add each instance to the Web Security manager (see Reviewing Policy Server connections).
