TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web software

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-WEB | Version 8.0.x

Use the Settings > Hybrid Configuration > Hybrid User Identification page to configure user identification and authentication methods for users whose requests are managed by the hybrid service.

The Web Hybrid module includes TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web software, which can be installed on client machines to enforce the use of the hybrid service. The client software passes authentication information to the hybrid service, enabling secure transparent authentication.

Detailed deployment and installation instructions are available in the Websense endpoint solutions technical paper.

If you have purchased additional Websense endpoint solution modules, be sure to refer to your Websense endpoint solutions documentation for information about combining modules.

To enable TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web software deployment:

Under TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web, mark Enable TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web installation and update on client machines.

Selecting this option allows you to configure deployment and automatic update settings. If you later deselect this option, any installed client software instances continue to work until uninstalled, though they no longer receive automatic updates.

Enter and confirm your anti-tampering password. The password must be between 4 and 25 characters. Anti-tampering provisions:

Protect endpoint client software files and folders from being deleted or renamed.

Restart the client software if it is stopped or killed.

Require a password is required to uninstall or stop the client software.

Prevent hybrid client software registry settings from being modified or deleted.

Block the Service Control command to delete the client software.

Until you define an anti-tampering password, you cannot download the endpoint client installation file or enable deployment from the hybrid service.


	Important For security reasons, Websense does not retain a copy of your anti-tampering password. If you forget your password, enter and confirm a new password. All endpoint client software installations will be updated to use the new password next time they connect to the Internet.

Select a deployment method:

Click Deploy Manually if you want to install the endpoint client software by hand on individual machines or via your preferred distribution method. (This is the only option available for Mac.)

Note the WSCONTEXT value displayed on screen. If you plan to use GPO to distribute the client software, you will use this value in your deployment script to ensure that users are correctly associated with your organization.

Click View Files to find the appropriate client software. Select a client operating system, then click on a version of the client software to download. You can also view a PDF of the release notes for each version by clicking a release notes link. Click Close when done.

To deploy the client software directly to Windows machines from the hybrid service, mark the Deploy the client software from the hybrid service check box.

Choose whether the client software is deployed to all users whose requests go through the hybrid service, or only to off-site users.

You can provide a customized message that appears to end users at the beginning of the client software download and installation process. The message can be used to reassure the user that the download is company-approved, and to provide any further information they may need. To customize the message, click Advanced Settings, then enter your organization name and the message you want to display. Click View Sample Page to see what will appear to the end user.

The sample page also contains the default text that is always displayed to the end user at the beginning of the download.

Mark Automatically update TRITON AP-ENDPOINT Web when a new version is released if you want to ensure that client machines always have the latest version of the endpoint client software when it is available.

Click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
