Connecting to Windows Active Directory (Mixed Mode)
Administrator Help | TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security | Version 8.0.x
If your directory service is Active Directory in mixed mode, typically no further configuration is necessary.
Supply additional information on this screen if Websense User Service resides on a Websense appliance or a Linux server, and either of the following is true:
*
DC Agent is being used for transparent identification (see DC Agent)
*
Logon Agent is being used for transparent identification with Active Directory in native mode.
If this matches your configuration, User Service and DC Agent or Logon Agent must communicate with a Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) to resolve domain names to domain controller IP addresses (see User Service on a Websense appliance or Linux server).
To enable that communication, use the fields under Windows Active Directory (Mixed Mode) to provide:
1.
The account name of an Administrative user that can access the directory service.
2.
The Password for the account.
3.
Domain information for the account.
4.
The IP address or hostname of a WINS server in your network.
Note that:
*
If you are using DC Agent, you can also perform these steps on the Settings > User Identification > DC Agent page when you are configuring a DC Agent instance. You do not need to perform the configuration in both places.
*
If you are using Logon Agent, even though you are connecting to the directory in native mode, you must perform these steps on the Windows Active Directory (Mixed Mode) page (including caching and saving your changes). Then, once the WINS connection is configured, you can complete your directory service setup on the Windows Active Directory (Native Mode) page.
If your installation does not use this configuration, the administrative credential fields are disabled.
