Step 2: Update Policy Server configuration

Update the Policy Server configuration file, and the initialization file used to configure communication between web protection components.

1. If you have not already done so, stop all web protection services on the Policy Server machine (see Stopping and starting web protection services).
2. Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default).
3. Locate the config.xml file, and then make a backup copy of the file in another directory.
4. Open config.xml in a text editor and replace each instance of the old Policy Server IP address with the new one.
5. When you are finished, save and close the file.
6. In the bin directory, locate the websense.ini file, and then make a backup copy in another directory.
7. Open websense.ini in a text editor and replace each instance of the old Policy Server IP address with the new one.
8. When you are finished, save and close the file.
