Protected Resources

If you have a resource protected using the "Protected Network Access" endpoint that requires FW/AV, is there a way to allow Linux machines to access that resource? Please let me know if you need further clarification on the question. Thanks for your help.

    You could modify the 'Protected Network Access' and provide an additional 'OR' to the Virus Attack Protection Critera.

     

     

    Some basic steps:

     

     

    1. Access the Protected Configuration, Select Protection Critera, select Virus Attack. The default configuration lists Antivirus OR Firewall.

     

     

    2. Select 'Add more...'

     

     

    You could select a 'Trusted Browser' and configure a user agent that your linux clients use, or you could use a 'Custom Check' and configure a prelogon sequence accordingly.

     

     

    The online help can be of more assistance for this type of configuration.
