Activating Web Security 11
During installation, you can choose to install one of the following Connector types,
depending on which type works best with your existing infrastructure:
• Enterprise Connector
• Workgroup Connector
Enterprise Connector
Select this option to integrate Connector with your enterprise's existing web traffic
gateway server (for example; a Microsoft ISA Server or other ICAP capable
gateway).
Workgroup Connector
Select this option if your organization does not have an existing gateway.
Connector will operate as your organization's web traffic gateway.
Virtual Connector
The Virtual Connector provides customers with an easy way to protect remote
workers by authenticating web traffic from outside the corporate environment.
With Virtual Connector, remote clients can directly connect to the web security
service, enabling web malware scanning and web filtering from remote locations.
The Virtual Connector uses basic proxy authentication to access the scanning
infrastructure. The username is the user’s email address and the password is a
unique user authentication key which is generated at the web security service.
Generating these keys can be done manually for individual users, and also in bulk
by importing a CSV file. All transactions will then be logged under the username
associated with this key.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that your users can use the Virtual Connector, you must
contact your account representative or activation specialist to learn which “tower”
your users should connect to. When one of your users connects to the correct
tower, that user will be prompted for a username and password. The username is
the email address to which the Authentication Key notification was sent, and the
password is the Authentication Key displayed within that notification (email).
