To prevent or work around possible misidentification
To prevent or work around possible misidentification, configure your transparent identification agent to ignore logon names that are not associated with actual users.
Steps
- Use the Windows Services tool to stop the Websense DC Agent service.
- Navigate to the web protection bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin, by default).
-
Use a text editor to either create or open ignore.txt.
Note: To set a size limit for the ignore list, use the MaxIgnoreListSize initialization parameter.
-
Populate the file as follows. Place each entry on a separate line.
- Add each user name that should be ignored on its own line. Web protection software ignores these users, regardless of which machine they use.
- To add a user name/machine pair, enter the user name, followed by a comma, and then the machine host name or IP address (ypark,YPARK-WS1). In this case, web protection software ignores the specified user only on the specified machine.
- To add a machine, enter an asterisk (*), followed by a comma, followed by the machine host name, IP address, or IP address range.
The following example shows correctly formatted entries:
anonymous logon admin,WKSTA-NAME *, WKSTB-NAME *, 10.209.34.56 *, 10.203.34.1-10.203.34.255
In this example, the Windows 7 service account anonymous logon is ignored on all machines, the user name admin is ignored only when associated with machine WKSTA-NAME, and logons for WKSTB-NAME, 10.209.34.56, and the network range 10.203.34.1 to 10.203.34.255 are ignored.
- When you are finished making changes, save and close the file.
- Start the Websense DC Agent service.
