Step 9: Install additional web protection components

Depending on your network configuration and size, you may need to install multiple instances of several policy enforcement and user identification components.

  • All components except Content Gateway can reside on Windows servers.
  • Most components can reside on Linux servers.
  • Most components can reside on appliances in the following configurations:
    • User directory and filtering appliances include Policy Server, plus Filtering Service, User Service, Usage Monitor, Network Agent, and Content Gateway. Directory Agent can also be enabled on these appliances. During setup, you are prompted to connect to Policy Broker (which typically resides on the management server).
    • Filtering only appliances include Filtering Service, Network Agent, and Content Gateway. During setup, you are prompted to connect to a Policy Server instance (which may reside on a user directory and filtering appliance, or a Windows or Linux server).
