To prevent or work around possible misidentification
Steps
-
Stop the Websense Logon Agent service.
- Windows: Use the Services tool.
- Linux: Use the /opt/Websense/WebsenseDaemonControl command.
- Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or / opt/Websense/bin/, by default).
- Use a text editor to either create or open ignore.txt.
-
Populate the file as follows. Place each entry on a separate line.
- Add each user name that should be ignored on its own line. These users are ignored, 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, the specified user is ignored 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 Logon Agent.
