Web Security Default Ports

Topic 50099 / Updated: 12-Sep-2011

Applies To:

Websense Web Filter, Web Security, Web Security Gateway, and Web Security Gateway Anywhere Versions 7.5, 7.6

This reference identifies the default ports used by Websense Web Security Gateway components, including interoperability components used to communicate with Websense Data Security and, in Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere deployments, the hybrid service.

In most cases, the default ports, which are assigned automatically during installation, never need to be changed. If you do need to change a port:

Use the Log Server Configuration utility to change the Log Server port.

Use TRITON - Web Security to configure communication with Log Server if the port has changed, and to change port information for transparent identification agents (DC Agent, eDirectory Agent, Logon Agent, or RADIUS Agent).

If you need to change ports for other services, this can be done in the initialization (INI) file for the component. Given dependencies between components, the change may need to be made in multiple files. If instructions for the component that you need to reconfigure are not available, contact Websense Technical Support for assistance.

A diagram that provides an overview of component connections and communications ports is also available.
