IP-based policy enforcement in hybrid deployments

In order to use IP address-based policies for users whose requests go through the hybrid service, a configuration change is required on the Sync Service machine.
  1. Log on to the Sync Service machine with Administrator privileges.
  2. Navigate to the Websense\bin directory:
    • Linux: /opt/Websense/bin
    • Windows: c:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or c:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\bin
  3. Open the SyncService.ini file in a text editor.
  4. Add the following line under the “SyncServiceHTTPPort” entry:
    OptimizePolicyExtract=False
    When you are finished, the file will look something like this:
    [service]
SyncServiceHTTPAddress = <ip_address>
SyncServiceHTTPPort = 55832
OptimizePolicyExtract=False
  5. Save and close the file.
  6. Use the Windows Services tool or the /opt/Websense/WebsenseDaemonControl command to restart Sync Service.
