The reason you're having this issue is that the way Watchguard uses Websense. I'm not sure you could actually integrate the Watchguard into your current Websense plan as it expects to see it as part of a Watchguard Management Server and not separately. Any Watchguard firewalls you plan to implement would need to have their web control managed separately from your Checkpoints. It's been a *LONG* while since I was a Checkpoint guy, but as a Watchguard guy I can tell you, in this fashion, they aren't compatible.
From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 8:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Websense question Dennis, Kind of, but not fully. We currently have Checkpoint firewall, and we have Websense Enterprise, a separate product. Websense, internally, has some type of integration with Checkpoint. I'm not sure how that works, as I was not here when they implemented it. However, there is a list on Websense's website, of supported firewall devices, and Watchguard is not included. So I'm wondering what I'm going to have to do to make the two products work together. I'm probably going to end up calling Websense, if I can find a good number, and get the information from them, but I was hoping to get some real world info first.

We have it licensed but are only using it on a couple of categories and don't pay much attention to it on a daily basis. Not sure if that's what you're asking about but could probably come up with some documentation on it for you if necessary. http://www.watchguard.com/products/webblock.asp Dennis _____ From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 9:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Websense question Refreshing this post, as I do need an answer if anyone out there has one. I do, however, understand that it is the holiday season, and there's probably just no one around that has the answer for me. Thanks all, Joe From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 9:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Websense question Anyone out there using Websense and Watchguard firewalls? We currently use Checkpoint, and the Websense integrates with the firewall, but I can't find documentation on Websense website about integration with Watchguard. Is integration possible with Watchguard, and if not, then how does Websense work in that instance?
