admin rights for activex plugins

There is a client component for Windows clients on the Client Downloads > Windows (x86) > Customize Package screen called Component Installer Windows Service. This enables clients to install the ActiveX component without having Admin rights.

 

 

You could create a MSI package that contains this component and all the other components that your clients need and distribute them using a package deployment method (e.g. Active Directory or SMS).

CBlunt,

 

 

That's what I thought, but I've been having issues with the component installer working even though I've used SMS to deploy it. If a user with admin rights logs into the laptop and then into the FirePass and then logs out and has the regular user log into the laptop and the FirePass, it works. So far I haven't been able to get an answer from F5 as to why this doesn't work.

I've not come across that issue. I'm currently deploying a pair of FirePass controllers on a customers site that has 1,400 users that do not have Admin rights. We created a client package that included all of the components and deployed them using SMS. The last hotfix was deployed and any updated components were able to be installed by the users without Admin rights.
