DC Agent is a Websense transparent identification agent used in networks that authenticate users with a Windows directory service. It mainly does the following:
In a Websense appliance-based deployment, DC Agent must be installed on a separate, Windows machine. It does not run on an appliance.
In a large network, you can install multiple DC Agents to provide ample space for files that are continually populated with user information.
Do not install DC Agent on the same machine as eDirectory Agent, because this can cause conflicts. Also, do not use DC Agent in a network in which eDirectory Agent is used.
If Websense software is integrated with a third-party product (firewall, proxy server, cache, or network appliance) providing user authentication, a transparent identification agent may not be necessary
