1.
Create a Windows registry file (you can do this from notepad and change the file
extension to .reg).
2.
Insert the following text. (You may need to adjust the path depending on your
settings. Also the last line requires the IP address of Optinet. In this example, we
will use 192.168.255.2)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
“BlackBoxNetworkServices”=”cymdir.exe /silent 192.168.255.2”
3.
Save and exit the registry file
4.
Place a copy of Directory Client on each workstation’s Windows folder. (You can also
choose any location in PATH).
5.
Import the registry file into each Windows’s registry.
This concludes the section on how to deploy Directory Client. Again, because each network
is unique, you may need to determine the best method (or perhaps combination of
methods) to deploy the Directory Client.
Create Directory Internet Usage Rules
Creating Internet Usage Rules (IURs) for Directory Groups is quite similar to creating IURs
for Optinet Groups. If you have chosen Directory Option 1 and Directory Option 5 for
integrating Directory Users, you will follow the same steps listed in Chapter 5: Managing
Optinet for your IURs.
If you have chosen Directory Options 2, 3, and 4, you will need to enable the different
features tailored for each option under the Internet Usage Rule Manager. This is done
under the Web Authentication tab. There are several options that are universal for
Directory Options 2, 3, 4 that are listed under Web Authentication.
Web Authentication
Remember that Web Authentication identifies uses by web (HTTP) requests. Because of
this, non Web traffic, e.g., IM, P2P, etc, may not at first be correctly reported or controlled
until Optinet receives a web request from Directory Users. Because of this, the IUR you
assign to the Directory Users needs to be the same IUR you assign to a device in use by
Directory Users. Directory Options 2, 3, 4, require you to make two groups: Optinet Groups
for Directory Users’ devices and Directory Groups for Directory Users. Both these groups
will need to use the exact same IUR.
Also, remember that Directory Option 4 is the safeguard for Directory Option 2 and 3. If for
some reason, these two Web Authentication pieces fail (IP Lookup or NTLM) Optinet will
present a login page for members of the Directory Group. Below are settings that can be
used with all Web Authentication rules.

Web Authentication White List—these are web sites for which Optinet will not
require Directory credentials to access.
