Websense Web Security Unblock / Recategorize not works

If you are using Websense Web Security 7.6 or newer and trying to allow a website by using unblock or recategorize features and if you are still not able to access to the website as I have experienced this behaviour with www.bugme not.com site, this is related to a new mechanism of force comes with 7.6 and newer versions. Because it continues to block the address if it is in a risky category, even you create an allow rule.

But you can override this feature by editing your eimserver.ini file

To do this open your eimserver.ini file add SecurityCategoryOverride=OFF under [FilteringManager]section and restart the filtering service.

Another reason for this issue can be the role you've used to logon Triton console, be sure you use Super Administrator role or/and visit http://www.websense.com/support/article/kbarticle/Unblock-URL-feature-in-Websense-Manager-does-not-work for more information.

Thanks for the info. This worked great. I have tried several things that Websense recommended and had no luck. Your solution was spot on.
