73 Barracuda NG Network Access Client - Administrator’s Guide

5.4 Customer Setup

Customer setup is a comprehensive installation method, allowing you to fully preconfigure all NG
Network Access Client settings on multiple installation systems remotely.
Customer setup addresses the experienced system administrator. In addition to pure installation and
basic configuration, it allows you to:
Preconfigure an arbitrary number of connection profiles on the NG Network
Access Client.
Import license (.lic) files and X.509 certificates into the NG Network Access
client.
Import preconfigured rule sets into the NG Personal Firewall.
Exemplary script files required for Customer Setup (customer.inf, silent.cmd) are available on
the Application CD, allowing you to adapt the remote configuration procedure.
Proceed as follows to prepare a completely customized setup:
1.) Edit the customer.inf file
See 5.4.1 customer.inf, page 73
2.) Edit the silent.cmd file
See 5.4.5 silent.cmd, page 78
3.) Copy the following files to the folder containing the setup.exe file:
• customer.inf
• silent.cmd
active.i_fwrule (optional)
[LicenseName].lic (optional)
[CertificateName].pem (optional)
4.) Execute the silent.cmd file
