Creating a Customized MSI file that Supports Machine Authentication

When using machine tunnel before Windows login, or a machine tunnel before and after Windows login, we recommend using the VPN Client Configuration Utility to create a customized MSI package that supports Machine tunnel authentication.

To create a customized MSI for machine tunnel before and after Windows login:

1. Install the Endpoint Client from the MSI you want to repackage.

2. Create a site, but do not connect to it. When asked for authentication method, keep the default value.

3. Edit the trac.defaults file and configure the machine tunnel.

4. To make sure that the client connects with a machine tunnel, restart the machine.

5. Copy the trac.defaults file and the trac.config file from the installation directory to a different directory.

6. Open the Creating Installation Package with VPN Configuration Utility:

   1. Choose the MSI you want to repackage.

   2. Select the Replace trac.defaults file and the Replace trac.config file.

   3. In the Advanced tab, select the VPN client sub type. To ask the user during the installation which flavor to install, leave it as User defined (default).
