Upgrade EPA (Endpoint Analysis) libraries in NetScaler Gateway
The Endpoint Analysis feature enables administrators to analyze and make client connection choices based on client endpoint settings for plug-in sessions connecting through the NetScaler Gateway. Previously, NetScaler Gateway administrators had to manually upload a new EPA library using the command line in order to upgrade the EPA libraries in NetScaler Gateway. This task required administrators to manually extract the file on the NetScaler and then copy the extracted files to appropriate directories. NetScaler Gateway 10.5.52.1115.e presents a one-click interface for upgrading EPA libraries without upgrading or rebooting the system.
To complete the task from configuration utility:
Download the latest EPA library package from the download page on www.citrix.com.
In the NetScaler configuration utility, click Configuration and expand NetScaler Gateway. Click Upgrade EPA Libraries under Customize EPA Libraries. The Upgrade EPA Libraries page appears.
In the Choose File field, click Browse and select the EPA package file that you have downloaded in your computer. By default the file is searched from your computer, so the down arrow of Browse is selected as Local. Click Upgrade. Once the upgrade is completed, the page becomes accessible and displays the updated EPA library version.
For accessing and configuring EPA scans with the new library, refresh the page. The Opswat EPA wizard displays the updated EPA scans that can be configured for use immediately.
Results of EPA library upgrade on client systems:
As part of the upgrade of the endpoint analysis library, new client plug-ins are installed on the NetScaler system. These updated plug-ins will be automatically updated on client systems when clients connect to the NetScaler Gateway.
EPA library upgrades on Windows
Once the EPA libraries are upgraded, the EPA and VPN plug-in download the newer Windows EPA library in the background the next time users connect. Users do not notice anything different during the EPA scan.
EPA library upgrades for Mac
For Mac clients, the EPA and VPN plug-ins are downloaded after completing the upgrade. Users will see a download prompt for the EPA plug-in and the VPN plug-in will automatically upgrade.
Once the plug-in is upgraded, EPA works normally.
