Directory Service Access Screen

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint Web Security, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x

This screen appears if User Service, DC Agent (Windows only), or Logon Agent is selected for installation.

Enter the domain, user name, and password of an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group on the domain controller.

  • This must be the domain controller whose directory includes the users to whom you plan to apply user- or group-based policies.
  • User Service uses this account to query the domain controller for user information.
    Note: User information on domain controllers trusted by the domain controller in question will also be accessible.

If you choose not to specify a Domain Admin account now (by leaving the fields blank), you can specify it after installation:

  • On Linux, specify a Domain Admin account to be used by User Service. For more information, see the Administrator Help for your web protection solution.
  • On Windows, configure the User Service service to log on as a Domain Admin user:
    1. Open the Windows Services tool.
    2. Right-click Websense User Service and select Properties, then click the Log On tab.
    3. Under Log on as, select This account and enter the domain\username and password (twice) of the trusted account you specified during installation.
    4. Click OK.
    5. A message appears informing you the account you specified has been granted the Log On As A Service right. Click OK.
    6. A message appears informing you the new logon name will not take effect until you stop and restart the service. Click OK, then click OK again.
    7. Right-click Websense User Service and select Restart.
