User Service is not available

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security | Version 8.0.x

User Service must be running, and Policy Server must be able to communicate with User Service, in order for user-based policies to be applied correctly.

User Service may appear to have stopped if you restarted Policy Server after restarting other Websense services. To correct this issue:

Log off of the TRITON Manager.

Restart the Websense Policy Server service (see Stopping and starting Websense services).

Start or restart Websense User Service.

Wait 1 minute before logging on to the TRITON Manager again.

If the previous steps do not fix the problem:

Check the Windows Event Viewer or websense.log file (in the Websense bin directory) for error messages from User Service.

Navigate to the Websense bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default), and make sure that you can open websense.ini in a text editor. If this file has been corrupted, replace it with a backup file.
