When NetScaler Gateway installs the Endpoint Analysis Plug-in on the user device, the plug- in scans the user device for the endpoint security requirements that you configured on NetScaler Gateway. The requirements include information, such as the operating system, antivirus, or web browser versions.

When Windows users connect to NetScaler Gateway using the browser for first time, the portal requests the installation of the Endpoint Analysis Plug-in. On subsequent log on attempts, the plug-in checks the upgrade control configuration to decide if the client endpoint analysis plug-in upgrade is necessary. If it is necessary, the user will receive a prompt to download and install the newer Endpoint Analysis Plug-in. The Endpoint Analysis Plug-in for Windows is installed as a Windows 32-bit application. No special privileges are required to install or use it.

For Mac OS X, the user is required to install the Endpoint Analysis Plug-in. The plug- in for Mac OS X is installed as a 32-bit application. No special privileges are necessary to install it. On subsequent log on attempts, if the plug-in versions do not match, the user will be prompted to download and install the plug-in.

To use the Endpoint Analysis Plug-in, the following software is required on the user device:
