this is when Websense Enterprise or Web Security Suite is being evaluated on
a small network or segment of a larger network.
For detailed information about how to deploy each of the Websense Reporting
components in your network, see the Deployment Guide for Websense
Enterprise and Web Security Suite, and your Websense Enterprise and Web
Security Suite Reporting documentation.
Directory Services
If your environment includes a directory service, Websense software allows
you to filter internet requests based on individual policies assigned to
directory objects. Directory objects identified in a directory service can be
added in Websense Manager and assigned specific policies.
Websense software can communicate with the following directory services:
 Windows
®
NTLM-based directories
 Windows
®
Active Directory
®
 Sun Java™ System Directory Server
 Novell Directory Services
®
/Novell
®
eDirectory
®
For information about supported versions of these directory services, see the
Deployment Guide for Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite. For
information about configuring directory service access, see the
Administrator’s Guide for Websense Enterprise and Web Security Suite.
Filtering can be based on individual user, group, and domain/organizational
unit policies, providing that the Websense software is able to identify the user
making an internet request. The authentication method you configure must
allow Filtering Service to obtain directory object information from a
Windows or LDAP directory. For information about accessing LDAP and
Windows directories, see the Administrator’s Guide for Websense Enterprise
and Web Security Suite.
Note
Websense software can communicate with your directory
service whether it runs on the same operating system as the
Websense components, or on a different system.
