Enrolling a Windows Device

Before you start this process, you must have an Windows sign-in URL for nZTA, based on the tenant FQDN provided by the Ivanti DevOps/Support organization.

If you have an existing Ivanti Secure Access Client installed, you must first uninstall it before beginning the nZTA enrollment process.

The Domain Admin must also ensure that Windows desktop machines can successfully connect to the Windows domain by updating the Trusted Root CA Certificates on all machines, see Enabling Trusted Root CA Certificate on Windows Domain.

To enroll a Windows desktop device:

Log into your Windows desktop.

Start a browser session.

In your browser, enter the nZTA enrollment URL into your address bar. For example, "https://tenant1.mycompany.com/login/" or "https://tenant1.mycompany.com/login/saleslogin/". A login page appears.

Provide your credentials to access nZTA enrollment. The launcher page appears, for example:

nZTA Launcher (Windows)

Click Download and save the application launcher PulseSecureAppLauncher.msi file locally.

A "HERE" hyperlink is displayed in the browser. This is required after the launcher has installed.

Run the downloaded file to install the launcher.

Confirm the completion of the launcher installation.

In the browser, click the "HERE" hyperlink to continue with the enrollment. A browser dialog requests confirmation to start the launcher app.

Click Open Pulse Secure Application Launcher. The launcher starts.

Accept any certificate warnings. A progress bar indicates installation status.

Accept that the PulseSetupClientOCX.exe file can make changes to your device.

Accept that the PulseSetupClientOCX64.exe file can make changes to your device.

Accept that the Pulse Secure Component Manager Installer application can make changes to your device. Ivanti Secure Access Client then downloads.

Accept that the Pulse Secure Component Manager can make changes to your device. Ivanti Secure Access Client then installs and starts, and reports on a number of tasks:

Enrolling the User.

Fetching and Importing Client Certificates. You must confirm any certificate requests.

Fetching and Importing CA Certificates. You must confirm any certificate requests.

Launching the Windows Edge/Webview2 browser. In a typical enrollment, upon successful authentication to the Controller, Ivanti Secure Access Client automatically shows the end-user portal applications page through a Windows Edge/Webview2 browser. This feature is supported with ISAC client version 22.6R1.

Onboarding is then complete. Ivanti Secure Access Client appears as a task in the Windows task bar. For example:

Ivanti Secure Access Client Task in Taskbar (Windows)

When the Controller requests a certificate from the client, accept the request.

Log into the Controller using your Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access service user credentials. The compliance of the device is checked.

(Optional) If your sign-in authentication policy is configured for Multi-Factor Authentication, you might be required to complete a TOTP (Time-based One Time Password) secondary authentication step each time you sign in. For a first time login, the user is presented with a TOTP registration page:

First-time login TOTP registration Use this page to add your user details to an authenticator app on your device, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. If you do not yet have such a two-factor authenticator app installed, do that now. Scan the QR code, or enter the provided text, to add the user details to your authenticator app. Then, store the generated backup codes in a secure location for future retrieval of a lost account. Finally, enter the token code generated by the authenticator app into the box provided, then select Sign In.

For future sign-in attempts, the TOTP challenge dialog appears without the registration details or backup codes. As before, you provide the generated token code from your authenticator app into the box provided and select Sign In.

After the nZTA end-user portal applications page appears, click any displayed resource to launch that item in your default system browser. To re-show the end-user portal at a future time, use the ZTA button in the Ivanti Secure Access Client nZTA connection.

When you launch an SSO (Single Sign-on) application from the end-user portal for the first time in a session, nZTA presents a pop-up dialog requesting the user to select a certificate with which to authenticate this device with the Controller. This is a one-time activity at the beginning of a session, and all further SSO application accesses (to any SSO application) re-use the same certificate.

If a default Gateway is configured on the Controller, and nZTA is the only active connection, the default Gateway handles all requests for unlisted applications from your Windows device. Refer to Using Application Discovery with Ivanti Secure Access Client.

Enabling Trusted Root CA Certificate on Windows Domain

To ensure that Windows desktop machines can successfully connect to the Windows domain, each machine must update its Trusted Root CA Certificates.

Ivanti recommends that the Domain Admin configures the Public Key Policies on the Group Policy Object and publishes it to all connected Windows desktops.

To add certificates to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store for a Windows domain:

Access the Windows domain server and log in.

Domain Admins is the minimum group membership required to complete this procedure.

Open the Server Manager.
