vip_config binary is not setuid root, manager will be unable to enable virtual ip addresses	The content_manager process is not able to set virtual IP addresses. You must setuid root for the vip_config file in the Content Gateway bin directory.
Content Gateway cannot parse the ICAP URI. Please ensure that the URI is entered correctly in Content Gateway Manager or in the proxy.config.icap.ICAPUri configuration variable.	The Universal Resource Identifier (URI) is not in the correct format. Enter the URI as follows: icap://hostname:port/path See Working With Websense Data Security for additional details on the format of the URI.
The specified ICAP server does not have a DNS entry. Please ensure that a valid DSS hostname is entered correctly in Content Gateway Manager or in the proxy.config.icap.ICAPUri configuration variable.	The hostname in the records.config file does not match any entries in the DNS. Ensure that the name of a valid Websense Data Security Suite server is entered correctly in the Content Gateway manager. See Working With Websense Data Security for information on the format of the URI.
Content Gateway is not able to communicate with the DSS server. Please try again.	Ensure that the Websense Data Security Suite server is up and running, and accepting connections on the port specified in the proxy.config.icap.ICAPUri variable. Contact your Websense Data Security Suite administrator if this message persists.
Domain controller domain_controller_name:port is down.	The named NTLM domain controller is not responding to requests and has been marked as down. Investigation the status of the domain controller.
Windows domain [domain name] unreachable or bad membership status	This alarm can indicate any of the following: 1. The Active Directory is unreachable. The AD server is either down or there is a network connectivity problem. 2. The AD is reachable, but there is a configuration problem that prevents it from communicating with Content Gateway. For example, the alarm is generated if the AD has multiple Sites and the subnet that Content Gateway resides on has not been added to one of them.
The Scanning Data Files Update option (My Proxy > Subscription) is set to 'suspend updates'. To get the best Websense protection, set it to 'no delay', or, on a backup system, use a time-based option.	Included in 7.8.3 and later, this alarm is a reminder that downloads of the security scanning data files used by Content Gateway analysis has been suspended. It is recommended that you not clear this alarm until the delay time has been reset.
