Custom configuration for a DC Agent instance

Many of the DC Agent settings configured in Forcepoint Security Manager apply to all agent instances in your deployment. You can, however, configure settings unique to a DC Agent instance by editing a configuration file called transid.ini.

Steps

  1. Use a text editor to edit transid.ini (in C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\ bin, by default), then save your edits.
  2. Edit the parameters to customize for this agent instance.

    For example, configure the agent to ignore user names that contain a dollar sign:

    AllDollarSign=True

  3. Add other values as desired.
  4. Save and close the INI file.
  5. Use the Windows Services tool to stop the Websense DC Agent service.
  6. Delete the XidDcAgent.back file from the web protection bin directory. The file is recreated when you start DC Agent.
  7. Start the Websense DC Agent service.

Next steps

Note that not all user identification settings can be overridden, and that all parameters and values described in this document are case-sensitive.

Before creating or updating the transid.ini file, please consider that the default values are designed to maximize accuracy and efficiency in most environments. In most cases, it is best to leave the default values as they are.
