About Client-Side
Capability
Starting from the APM Clients release 7.1.5, the APM
Clients do not use browser plugins. So, the Client-Side Capability agent should not be used to
determine if a client is capable of running the client-side endpoint security checks or of
establishing VPN, Dynamic or Static Application tunnels.
Branch | Description |
|---|---|
Full | Indicates that the user is connecting with a client that has
full client-side check support. |
fallback | Indicates that the user is connecting with a client that does
not fully support client-side checks. |
This action can be very useful as one of the first checks in an access
policy. The
Full
branch can include the
required client-side checks for those clients that are capable, while the fallback branch can
lead to access policy branches for other clients. This figure shows an example in which the Client-Side Capability action is
used to verify that the client is capable of running a client-side check before running the
client-side check for antivirus software.
Client-side capability check before a client-side check
In practice, an access policy would usually include a
logon action, an authentication action, and other actions.
