  4. On the Installation Type screen, select Custom and then click or select Next.
  5. On the Select Components screen, select the following components, then click or select Next:
    • Filtering Service
    • User Service

    Optionally, you may also select:

    • Network Agent
    • State Server
    • Logon Agent, eDirectory Agent, or RADIUS Agent
    • Directory Agent (used by the Web Security Hybrid Module)
  6. On the Policy Server Connection screen, enter the central Policy Server IP address and communication port (55806, by default).
  7. If you are installing Directory Agent, on the Policy Broker Connection screen, enter the IP address of the primary or standalone Policy Broker machine, and the Policy Broker communication port (55880, by default).

  10. On the Feedback screen, indicate whether you want your software to send feedback to Forcepoint, then click or select Next.
  11. On the Installation Directory screen, accept the default installation path, or click or select Choose to specify another path, and then click or select Next.

    The installation path must be absolute (not relative). The default installation path is: /opt/Websense/

    The installer creates this directory if it does not exist.

    Important: The full installation path must use only ASCII characters. Do not use extended ASCII or double-byte characters.

    The installer compares the installation’s system requirements with the machine’s resources.

    • Insufficient disk space prompts an error message. The installer closes when you click or select OK.
    • Insufficient RAM prompts a warning message. The installation continues when you click or select OK. To ensure optimal performance, increase your memory to the recommended amount.
  12. On the Pre-Installation Summary screen, verify the information shown, then click or select Next.
    The summary shows the installation path and size, and the components to be installed.
  13. An Installing progress screen is displayed. Wait for the installation to complete.
    Note: If you are using the command-line Linux installer, do not cancel (Ctrl-C) the installer after the Pre-Installation Summary screen, as it is installing components. In this case, allow the installation to complete and then uninstall the unwanted components.
  14. On the Installation Complete screen, click or select Done.
