Nortel VPN client 4.65d

[MrNilsson]

Hi all!

Just wondering if any have manage to get the 4.65d client to work as a user without any administrative/poweruser privilege.

and have any one manage to make a MSI package of this client?

We have encountered the same problem since we moved from 2.62.xx to 4.65.xx. The user must have local admin rights. I have formally issued a requirements document to Nortel (June 2nd) requesting that they change this as it is preventing us from 'locking down' PC configurations.

We created an executable not .msi.

Oh yeah, check the release notes for v4.65_26 page 24.

There fix is to log in as a user with admin priv's.

Use the 4.65 custom install to build your client as a service. The client will automatically load as a service or and app, based on the user. It also resolves the admin priveledges issue.

We've been using this for a few months now and it works great. Our build was 4.65_09

1911man - I had a look at page 24, its in reference to installing, not using. I have not downloaded 4.65.26 yet but will let you know the outcome of my testing. I do not hold out any hope that it solves the problem.

reissman - Except in rare circumstances, we run the Client as an Application. If you run it as a Service, the automatic interface with Entrust breaks down. I have asked Nortel to fix the Client so that it runs the same regardless as to whether its installed as an Application or a Service.

I received confirmation yesterday from one of our testers that 4.65.26 does resolve the permissions problem when installed as an Application.
