Deploying the logon application for Windows clients

To use Logon Agent with Windows clients, modify the Group Policy on domain controllers so it launches the logon application (LogonApp.exe) as part of the logon script.

Client machines must use NTLM (v1 or v2) when authenticating users.

The logon application is activated via a logon script (a text file with a .bat or .cmd extension) that resides in the same directory as the logon application.

When any web protection component is installed on a Windows machine, the logon application and its support files are placed in a subdirectory of the bin folder:

Websense\Web Security\bin\LogonApp\Windows\x86

Websense\Web Security\bin\LogonApp\Windows\x64

• LogonApp.exe: The executable that communicates user information to the Logon Agent.
• logon.bat: The batch file containing sample logon and logout scripts.
• LogonApp_ReadMe.txt: Contains links to the logon application deployment instructions in this document.

Customize the default logon.bat script to meet your needs.
