Figure 10-5 VCA Settings tab
You can perform the following tasks on the VCA Settings tab:
• Select Collector - Select the server (collector) you want the VCA to save its categorizations to. By
default, the collector is set to localhost. In this instance, the VCA service will use a trusted connection
and the local system account to connect to the local collector. If you want to save VCA categorizations
to a remote collector, you will need to set up a separate user account and manually configure the VCA
service to run using this account. (The VCA service will not connect to a remote collector if it is
configured to use a trusted connection and to log on with the local system account). To configure the
service to log on using a different account, perform the following:
i Click Start, point to Administrative Tools and click Services.
ii Double-click SurfControl Virtual Control Agent in the services list.
iii Click the Log On tab and select This account.
iv Enter the user name and password the VCA service will use to connect to the remote collector,
and click OK.
v Restart the VCA service.
vi Open the VCA Control Panel application and click the VCA Settings tab.
vii Click Browse and type in the ip address or hostname of the server that will act as the remote
collector, and click OK.
• Commit Change(s) Interval (hours) - You can configure the time in hours before the VCA will commit
changes to the selected database and flush its cache.
• Temporary Internet files folder - The VCA spiders will download up to 10 pages of a destination it is
categorizing. It downloads them to the folder specified in this field. By default this location is:
C:\Program Files\SurfControl\Web Filter\SpiderFiles
Once the spiders have finished categorizing the destination, the pages are deleted from the folder.
This setting can also be changed from within the VCA. See page 121 for more details.
