Installation for Users without Administrator Privileges

The SSL Network Extender usually requires Administrator privileges to install the ActiveX component. To allow users that do not have Administrator privileges to use the SSL Network Extender, the Administrator can use his/her remote corporate installation tools (such as, Microsoft SMS) to publish the installation of the SSL Network Extender, as an MSI package, in configuring the SSL Network Extender.

To prepare the SSL Network Extender MSI package:

  1. Copy the $FWDIR/conf/extender/extender.cab file to a Windows machine and open the file using WinZip, or similar archive manager.

  2. Extract the cpextender.msi, and use as an MSI package, for remote installation.

On Windows , macOS, and Linux, it is possible to install SSL Network Extender for users that are not administrators, if the user knows the admin password.

In this case, perform a regular SSL Network Extender installation and supply the administrator password when asked.
