Ivanti Policy Secure and Ivanti Connect Secure Deployment Options

For Ivanti Policy Secure and Ivanti Connect Secure, you can deploy all of the connections required for Windows and macOS clients to connect to any Ivanti server.

Ivanti Secure Access Client is distributed through the app stores.

Ivanti Policy Secure and Ivanti Connect Secure support the following deployment options:

•Web install: Create all of the settings that a Windows or macOS endpoint needs for connectivity and services, and install the software on endpoints that connect to the Ivanti server's Web portal. Ivanti servers include a default client connection set and client component set. The default settings enable you to deploy Ivanti Secure Access Client to users without creating new connection sets or component sets. The default settings for the client permit dynamic connections and install only the components required for the connection.

•Default installer: A default Ivanti Secure Access Client installer package (in .msi format for Windows and .dmg for macOS) is included in the Ivanti server software. You can distribute this default installer to endpoints, run it, and then let users create their own connections or have users browse to the Ivanti server and authenticate though the server's Web portal to receive the initial configuration and bind the client to the server for future configuration updates. Users can automatically install connections to other Ivanti servers (if Ivanti Secure Access Client's configuration allows dynamic connections) by browsing to the user Web portal of a Ivanti server where a dynamic connection has been made available. A dynamic connection is a predefined set of connection parameters that enables a client to connect to the host server. If the user is able to log in to the Ivanti server's user Web portal and start Ivanti Secure Access Client from the Web interface, the connection parameters are downloaded and installed on Ivanti Secure Access Client. Dynamic connections are created as manual rather than automatic connections, which means that they are run only when the user initiates the connection or the user browses to a Ivanti server and launches Ivanti Secure Access Client from the server's Web interface.

•Preconfigured installer: Create the connections that an endpoint needs for connectivity and services, download the settings file (.pulsepreconfig), and download default Ivanti Secure Access Client installation program. For Windows endpoints you run the Ivanti Secure Access Client installation program by using an msiexec command with the settings file as an option. For OS X endpoints, you run the default installer and then import the. pulsepreconfig file using a separate command.

Ivanti Secure Access Client uses a different deployment model than Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows and Ivanti Secure Access Client for Mac endpoints.
