F5 VPN client + Endpoint Inspection
Hey guys,
I've got an issue that confuses me the more i look and read into it.
The issue
We have a web portal that is externally accessible where users (after MFA authentication) can login and start a F5 VPN client to access the corporate network. Upon logon we see a message stating it wants us to download a "Endpoint Inspection client components". If we download manually it's the file "f5epi_setup.exe"
The goal is to avoid this popup for our users.
What we currently do
From our network team i get a file "BIGIPEdgeClient.exe" (latest version 72.23.0428.0523"). I extract this file and there's a MSI-file "BIGIPComponentInstaller.exe". We install this silently through SCCM. This installs, as far as i understand it the F5 VPN-client (which works fine, we do not get the same popup as above).
The problem
I've read various support-articles:
- Installing BIG-IP Edge Client from the Windows command line (f5.com)
- BIG-IP Edge Client for Windows Component Installer (f5.com)
- Deployment options | BIG-IP Edge Client operations guide (f5.com)
- ...
The more i read, the more it confuses me. Specifically: how can i avoid this popup and preinstall the EndPoint Inspection client components? What am i missing?
Thanks in advance everyone!
