Endpoint Analysis Requirements

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

When Windows users connect to Citrix Gateway using the browser for the first time, the portal requests the installation of the Endpoint Analysis plug-in. On subsequent logon attempts, the plug-in checks the upgrade control configuration to check if the client endpoint analysis plug-in upgrade is necessary. If it is necessary, the user receives 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 macOS, the user is required to install the Endpoint Analysis plug-in. The plug- in for macOS is installed as a 64-bit application. No special privileges are necessary to install it. On subsequent logon attempts, if the plug-in versions do not match, the user is prompted to download and install the plug-in.

The tooltips on the Admin UI console explain the scans in detail. For details on the EPA libraries, see https://www.citrix.com/en-in/downloads/citrix-gateway/epa-libraries/.

Important:

  • The browsers that support EPA also support clientless VPN.

  • In pre-authentication endpoint analysis, the user cannot log on with the Citrix Gateway plug-in if the user does not install the Endpoint Analysis plug-in or skips the scan.

  • In post-authentication endpoint analysis, the user can access resources for which a scan is not required by using either clientless access or by using the Citrix Workspace app.

  • For OPSWAT related scans, you must install the binary package epaPackage.exe on the client machine.
