Access Client — Standard User Support WatchGuard Training Access Client v3.1.1 allows Windows standard users (users without administrator privileges) to use the Access Client. Administrator privileges are still required for the initial installation of the Access Client software. The Access Client v3.1.1 installer installs a new component, called the WatchGuard Access Client Helper Service, which performs the tasks that require elevated access privileges. This what allows a user without administrator privileges to use the Access Client. After the Helper Service is installed and running, a standard user can use either the installed or on-demand Access Client to connect to tunnel resources on the Application Portal. 4
Access Client — Standard User Support WatchGuard Training To install the Access Client for a standard user, an administrator must complete these steps: • Install the Access Client (.exe or .msi) on the client computer • Install the ActiveX control on the client computer • Add an exception for “AccessClient.exe” to the Windows Firewall • If the standard user uses Internet Explorer 7 or 8 in Protected Mode, add the Application Portal as a trusted site in the Internet Options • For more information, see the Knowledge Base (article #2901) Limitations • The Access Client software must be installed by an administrative user prior to use by a standard user. • ActiveX Controls cannot be installed in Internet Explorer 7 or 8 if Protected Mode is enabled. • A standard user can only update Access Client components if the Helper Service is running. • Access Client cannot be run in low-integrity mode. 5
