Limitations for Secure Client customizations

Review these limitations when configuring Secure Client customizations.

General limitations

  • Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center removes all Secure Client customizations configured earlier than Version 7.4 directly on the device using CLI commands during deployment.

  • You cannot apply customizations to clusters.

Limitations for GUI text and message customizations

  • Restart Secure Client before you use this customization.

  • Supports only left-to-right languages.

  • Some strings may be truncated in the user interface because of fixed field lengths.

  • Some client messages are hardcoded. For example:

    • Status messages (during an update)

    • Untrusted server messages

    • Deferred update messages

  • Localization depends on the software version.

    If you created a translation table using a template of an earlier Secure Client version, new messages do not appear for remote users. You must merge the latest template with the translation table so that the table has the new messages. Use third-party tools like Gettext to perform the merge.

Limitations for icon and image customizations

  • Restart Secure Client before you use this customization.

  • You cannot apply this customization in macOS.

Limitations for deploying customized scripts

  • Secure Client runs only one OnConnect and one OnDisconnect script; however, these scripts may launch other scripts.

  • Scripts execute only functions that users have permissions to use.

  • You cannot launch the OnConnect script from the Start Before Logon (SBL) user interface.

Limitation for deploying custom applications using Secure Client APIs (Binaries)

After you use this customization, if you deploy an updated version of the Secure Client on the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center, the client will download the update and replace your custom user interface.

Limitation for customizing the client installer

You can apply this customization only on Windows.
