Pulse Secure Client Configuration Overview
You configure the Pulse Secure client settings on the Pulse server so that when users request authentication, they are assigned a role based on the role mappings and optional security profile that you create. Access to specific resources is permitted only for users and devices that provide the proper credentials for the realm, that are associated with the appropriate roles, and whose endpoints meet security restrictions. If a user attempts to connect to the network from an endpoint that does not comply with the security restrictions you have defined, the user cannot access the realm or role.
As you plan your Pulse configuration, be sure you know how you want to deploy Pulse Secure client. You can use one or more of the following Pulse Secure client deployment options:
- Use the defaults or make changes to the Pulse Secure client default component set and default connection set, and then download and distribute Pulse by having users log in to the gateway’s user Web portal and be assigned to a role. After the installation is complete, users have all the connections they need to access network resources.
- Create connections that an endpoint needs for connectivity and services, download the Pulse settings file (.pulsepreconfig), download default Pulse .msi installation program, and then run the .msi installation program by using an msiexec command with the settings file as an option. You can use the msiexec command to deploy Pulse using a standard software distribution process, such as SMS/SCCM.
- Distribute Pulse Secure client with no preconfiguration. You can download the default Pulse Secure Desktop Client installation file (Mac or Win) from the device, and then distribute the file to endpoints using your organization’s standard software distribution methods. Because the installer does not contain preconfigured connections, users must define network connections manually. Or you can create dynamic connections on each access gateway. These connections are automatically downloaded to the installed Pulse client when users provide their login credentials to the gateway’s user Web portal.

Where to donwload Pulse Secure Client 9.1.3 from I am using Mac OS Catalina and need to connect to client's VPN network. Where can I download the latest client which works with Catalina? Hi, since a few days I cannot connect to VPN. Pulse Secure hangs on checking compliance. I have upgraded from 9.0 r3.0 (1559) to 9.0 r3.2 (1667) but that doesn't solve the problem. A new installation didn't work either. When I stop, exit and restart the Pulse Secure Client it freezes.
The following tasks summarize how to configure Pulse Secure client on the device:
- Create and assign user roles to control who can access different resources and applications on the network. If you are converting your access environment from agentless or a VPN Tunneling environment, you should create new roles that are specific for Pulse Secure client.
- Define security restrictions for endpoints with Host Checker policies.
- Define user realms to establish authentication domains. If you are converting your access environment from agentless or a NC environment, typically you can use your existing realms.
- Associate the roles with appropriate realms to define your access control hierarchy using role mapping.
- Define Pulse Secure client component sets, connection sets, and connections.
- Deploy Pulse Secure client to endpoints.

Pulse Connect Secure Version Copyright © 2018Pulse Secure, LLC |
We are excited to announce the release of Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) version 9.0R1. This milestone release introduces major new features, delivering core enhancements to our comprehensive Secure Access platform.
Below are key highlights of the new release.
CLOUD AND VIRTUAL
Introducing: AWS Deployments
Pulse Desktop Client 9.0r3
You migrated your enterprise applications and workloads to AWS and rued the fact that the remote access solutions in AWS did not meet the cut. You had to backhaul traffic from remote users to the PCS gateways on-prem, which then sent the traffic to AWS.
We have good news. We now have deployments and integration into the AWS IaaS cloud. You can provide secure remote access to your applications and workloads in AWS and use the AWS cloud for DR and hybrid deployments.
As with Azure, deployment in AWS is supported with BYOL (Bring Your Own Licensing) model. Available as an AWS AMI and marketplace listing coming soon.
FQDN-based L3 split tunneling to SaaS and other resources
We have made split tunneling to SaaS apps super simple. Many of you requested the ability to send traffic destined to sanctioned cloud applications outside the tunnel, without backhauling it to the data center and overloading your network pipes and PCS gateways.
With the large IP ranges of these cloud applications and the fact that they could change without notice, split tunneling was cumbersome. You can now create these rules by specifying domain names, greatly simplifying the configuration, allowing you to sleep easy knowing that the policy will continue to work even if those cloud application Gods changed the IP addresses without telling you.
Enhancements to PSA-V virtual appliances (PCS/PPS)
This release continues the evolution of our PSA-V virtual appliances that were introduced in 8.3R3. Many of you will remember our legacy VA-SPE appliances that were somewhat handicapped when compared to the physical appliances. They could not own concurrent user licenses and were forced to lease them from a license server. They could not be clustered together and suffered from other drawbacks.
This release adds clustering support for PSA-V appliances across all the supported hypervisors – Hyper-V, KVM (new on PSA-V), as well as Azure and AWS. At this time, the supported configuration is 2-node A/A clusters. A/P clusters are not supported in cloud platforms due to the platform limitations. Proxy support for communication to PCLS (Pulse Cloud Licensing Service) is also now available.
REMOTE ACCESS
Enhanced Rewriter (Clientless Access)
One of the hottest features of PCS is our clientless access technology, providing a best-of-breed solution to securely access all things web, RDP, VDI ssh, telnet, HTML5 access etc., armed with nothing but the humble web browser.
What makes all this magic possible? It lies within our rewriting technology, rewriting any URLs generated from either the server or clients so that they point back to the VPN gateway, rather than point to an internal resource that cannot be resolved remotely.
We have significantly enhanced this technology to keep pace with the latest developments in JavaScript, supporting the latest JavaScript frameworks and new constructs that have been introduced to JavaScript itself with new version ECMA6, etc., replacing the need for custom filters as workarounds – making a best-of-breed solution even better than before.
SMB v2/v3 with File Browsing
Like tardigrades, SMB v1 is one of those resilient prehistoric Internet protocols that just refuses to die. Ask Microsoft, they might know something. SMB v1 had worked it’s way deep inside of legacy storage devices, printers and other applications and Microsoft has been a bit sluggish in removing it completely from Windows Servers, even after deprecating it many years ago.
Until 2017 that is, when SMBv1 was implicated in large ransomware attacks. Microsoft has been taking concrete measures to send it the way of the dodo, and has been urging the community to upgrade to the new versions of the protocol.
We are happy to report that file browsing now supports SMB v2 and v3 protocols in 9.0R1.
Embedded Browser for Pulse Desktop Clients (Windows and Mac)
Identity federation seems to be shaking up the Internet. Which is kind of logical when you consider the dispersion of applications and IAM solutions in an increasingly hybrid environment. SAML, the frontrunner of enterprise identify federation had to be designed with Internet friendliness as one of the top goals in mind – think HTTP/S transport.
Before 9.0R1, if you tried SAML federation with the Pulse Desktop Clients earlier, you probably noticed that the clients could not handle the HTTP/S-based SAML flows natively and had to fall back to spinning up the external system browser. Under the hood, this could also result in multiple host check policy evaluation – one from the browser context and one from the Pulse Desktop Clients – very inefficient, indeed.
Pulse Desktop Clients on Windows and Mac now support an embedded browser that is used for SAML flows to provide a native, streamlined user experience.
PLATFORM ENHANCEMENTS
Clustering over high latency networks
Configuration-sync over high-latency networks has been added to the clustering framework, supporting up to 100ms latencies. At this time, session sync and connection profile using global static IP pools are not supported over high-latency networks.
NDcPP and JITC CAT II Certifications
The fixes and enhancements made to comply with NDcPP and JITC CAT II certifications in v8.2 have been merged in 9.0R1. Customers subject to these compliance mandates can upgrade to 9.0R1 to get the latest enhancements, without compromising on their certifications.
High Availability for License Servers (A/P)

This release adds support for 2-node active/passive clustering of the License Server, including physical as well as virtual editions of the license server. Cloud platforms – AWS and Azure are not supported for A/P clustering of license servers.
Extend IPv6 support for iOS
Pulse Connect Secure server-side enhancements have been made in this release to support iOS clients to use 6-in-6 IPv6 in ESP mode.
