Detailed instructions for each of these tasks can be found in the User
Identification chapter in the Administrator’s Guide for Websense
Enterprise and Web Security Suite.
The Websense transparent identification feature allows the Websense
software to filter internet requests from users in a Windows or Novell
directory service, without prompting users to manually authenticate.
Websense software can transparently identify users in a Windows domain if
DC Agent and/or Logon Agent is installed. In networks using a Novell
directory service, you can transparently identify users by installing the
Websense eDirectory Agent. If users access your network through a RADIUS
server, you use RADIUS Agent to transparently identify them. RADIUS
Agent can be used in conjunction with either Windows- or LDAP-based
directory services.
Once the Websense Filtering Service is configured to communicate with the
transparent identification agent (DC Agent, Logon Agent, eDirectory Agent,
or RADIUS Agent), the agent obtains user information from the directory
service and sends the information to Filtering Service. When Filtering Service
receives the IP address of a machine making an internet request, Filtering
Service matches the address with the corresponding user name provided by
the transparent identification agent. This allows the Websense software to
transparently identify users whenever they open a browser that sends an
internet request to your integration product.
For more information about transparent identification using DC Agent, Logon
Agent, eDirectory Agent, and RADIUS Agent, see the User Identification
chapter in the Administrator’s Guide for Websense Enterprise and Web
Security Suite. For more detailed information, see the white paper titled

Note
DC Agent on Linux is not supported with LDAP-based
directory services. If you are running DC Agent on Linux
and are using Windows Active Directory, NTLM
authentication must be enabled in Active Directory.
