User IdentificationUse the User Identification > DC Agent page to configure a new instance of DCAgent, as well as to configure the global settings that apply to all instances of DCAgent.To add a new instance of DC Agent, first provide basic information about where theagent is installed, and how Filtering Service should communicate with it. Thesesettings may be unique to each agent instance.1. Under Basic Agent Configuration, enter the IPv4 address or hostname of themachine on which the agent is installed.NoteHostnames must start with an alphabetical character (a-z),not a numeric or special character.Hostnames containing certain extended ASCII charactersmay not resolve properly. If you are using a non-Englishversion of Websense software, enter an IP address insteadof a machine name.2. Enter the Port that DC Agent should use to communicate with other Websensecomponents. The default is 30600.3. To establish an authenticated connection between Filtering Service and DCAgent, select Enable authentication, and then enter a Password for theconnection.Next, customize global DC Agent communication and troubleshooting, domaincontroller polling, and computer polling settings. By default, changes that you makehere affect all DC Agent instances.Some of these settings can, however, be overridden in a configuration file (see theUsing DC Agent for Transparent User Identification technical paper).1. Under Domain Discovery, mark or clear Enable automatic domain discoverydetermine whether DC Agent automatically finds domains and domain controllersin your network.2. If domain discovery is enabled, also specify:• How often to Discover domains. Domain discovery occurs at 24-hourintervals, by default.• Whether DC Agent or User Service is responsible for performing domaindiscovery.In many environments, it is preferable to use User Service for domaindiscovery.If DC Agent is used for domain discovery, the service must run with domainor enterprise admin privileges.3. When User Service is installed on a Linux machine, the page includes a LinuxWINS Server Information section. A WINS server is required to resolve domainnames to domain controller IP addresses.TRITON - Web Security Help 307
