Visibility and Enforcement with Remote Profiler

A Remote Profiler is useful in the following cases:

  • Profile devices that are outside the enterprise network and connected through Ivanti Connect Secure.
  • Access control of remote users based on device profile.

When user connects to a remote Ivanti Connect Secure and starts a session:

  1. Information such as hostname and IP address, device IP address and MAC address, session identifier, user-agent are retrieved by the session and sent to the Profiler.
  2. The Profiler uses the information to profile the devices.
  3. Based on the device attributes, Ivanti Connect Secure assigns the user roles.
