Setting Up Remote Access Clients

Workflow for Deploying Clients

Remote Access clients require a supported Security Gateway version. If you use Automatic MEP, the Security Management Server or Multi-Domain Security Management must also be supported.

See sk67820 for the requirements for your environment

The initial workflow includes:.

1. Configure the Security Gateway that clients connect to.

2. Download a client package and edit the package, if necessary.

   The options available to edit client packages depend if you have SmartConsole-managed Remote Access clients or SmartEndpoint-managed Remote Access clients.

   1. SmartEndpoint-managed Remote Access VPN - Use the Creating Installation Package with VPN Configuration Utility.

   2. SmartConsole-managed Remote Access Clients - You can use these tools to edit the client MSI:

      • Creating Installation Package with VPN Configuration Utility.

      • Client application in Administration Mode.

      • CPMSI Tool with Editing an MSI Package with CLI

3. Distribute the package.

   • Through GPO or email, using the MSI file.

   • Distribute an upgrade automatically from the Security Gateway, using the TRAC.cab file. This is only for users who are upgrading from a previous version. You cannot edit the file before you distribute it.
