• If DC Agent is not identifying all your users as anticipated, you
may install Logon Agent as well to improve user authentication in
your network. For example, this might be necessary in a network
that uses Windows 98 workstations. DC Agent uses workstation
polling to get user information from workstations as they make
internet requests; however, polling cannot retrieve user
information from a Windows 98 workstation.
• If you are installing DC Agent, be sure that the machine names of
any Windows 9x workstations in your network do not contain any
spaces. This situation could prevent DC Agent from receiving a
user name when an internet request is made from that workstation.

the Administrator’s Guide for Websense Enterprise and Web Security
Suite. For detailed deployment information, see the white paper titled

 eDirectory Agent: Can be installed on the same machine as the rest
of the Websense filtering software, or installed on a separate machine
in your network. You can install multiple eDirectory Agents on the
same network, each configured to communicate with the Filtering
Service. You can install eDirectory and RADIUS Agent on the same
machine or on separate machines in your network. The eDirectory
Agent can be installed in the same network as DC Agent or Logon
Agent, but cannot be active at the same time, since Websense
software does not support communication with Windows and Novell
directory services simultaneously. Do not install eDirectory Agent on
the same machine as DC Agent or Logon Agent. The eDirectory
Agent installs on Windows, Solaris, and Linux.

 Logon Agent: Can be installed on the same machine as the rest of the
Websense filtering software, or installed on a separate machine in
your network. Logon Agent may be installed together with DC Agent
to improve the accuracy of user authentication in your network.
Logon Agent installs on Windows, Linux, or Solaris and works
