Websense Guru out there

Skunks, I'm having a recurring issue with Websense setup as a Proxy. The general issue is that occasionally it fails to identify the Distinguished name of a user from the Active Directory which results in a user attempting to browse being allocated the default (the most restrictive). This results in numerous calls to I.T helpdesk by very unhappy internal customers. Is there anyone who has had this issue with websense and how did you resolve it? I have googled and cant quite get a concrete solution. Anyone experienced the same. EAKM

I haven't used WebSense, but the key towards resolving such problems is in the logging! You must decide on the appropriate logging levels for you to be able to visualize what is happening. You can even activate debug logging but that would be a last resort. Increase the logging levels of the two engines (Proxy and AD) or any intermediary applications that are interacting in this scenario. You will surely be asked to produce logs even if you took the issue to the WebSense forums - which is the best place to discuss it. On 8 February 2013 09:43, Eric Mugo <kabugum@gmail.com> wrote:
