Several variables determine the speed of data transmission,including the size of your network and the amount of existing network traffic.To enable transparent identification with DC Agent:1. Install DC Agent. For more information, see the Deployment and InstallationCenter.In order to perform domain discovery (automatic domain and domain controllerdetection) and computer polling (to verify the logged-on user), DC Agent mustrun with domain admin or enterprise admin permissions. If you do not plan touse either of these features, DC Agent can run as any network user with readprivileges on the domain controller. Note that when domain discovery is disabled,you must maintain the domain and domain controller list for each DC Agentinstance manually (see The dc_config.txt file, page 310).2. Configure DC Agent to communicate with other Websense components and withdomain controllers in your network (see Configuring DC Agent).3. Use TRITON - Web Security to add users and groups to filter (see Adding a client,page 83).Websense software can prompt users for identification if DC Agent is unable toidentify users transparently.
