Reporting AdministrationConfigure the Log Database connectionUnder Log Database Connection, configure the ODBC connection that Log Serveruses to connect to the Log Database.1. Specify the ODBC Data source name (DSN) and enter a unique Description forthe database connection.2. Provide the SQL Server location (IP address or host name and instance name, ifapplicable) for the Microsoft SQL Server installation that hosts the Log Database,as well as the Connection port for sending data to the Log Database (1433, bydefault).3. If your environment uses SQL Server clustering, enter the virtual IP address forthe cluster.4. Enter the name of the Default database (wslogdb70, by default).5. Indicate whether or not to Use SSL to connect to the Log Database. When SSLencryption is enabled:• BCP cannot be used to add records to the Log Database.• Log Database connections are slower, affecting reporting performance.• If you are running TRITON - Web Security on a Websense appliance, theconnection from the console to the database cannot be encrypted. This meansthat if the Microsoft SQL Server “Force Protocol Encryption” option is set toYes, no data will appear in the Web Security Dashboard or other reportingtools.ImportantWhen Microsoft SQL Server components are configuredso that “Trust Server Certificate” is set to No (the default),self-signed SSL certificates are not accepted for encryptionof database connections.In this case, SSL certificates signed by a CertificateAuthority must be properly deployed to the SQL Server,TRITON management server, and Log Server machinesbefore you enable the “Use SSL” option in TRITON - WebSecurity.See your SQL Server documentation for information aboutdatabase encryption.6. Specify a Log Server connection method:• By default, SQL Server authentication is selected. To use SQL Serverauthentication, provide the SQL Server Account and Password to use.• Alternatively, you can use a Windows trusted connect (network logonaccount). The Websense Log Server service must be configured to run as thisaccount.TRITON - Web Security Help 413
