Overview

The Citrix^® Access Gateway Endpoint Analysis Software Development Kit (Endpoint Analysis SDK) is an add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET that provides instructions for developing and testing C++ and VBScript endpoint analysis scan packages. The Endpoint Analysis SDK is for developers who want to create scan packages that perform a flexible range of security, identity, and device integrity checks on client devices before granting them access through Citrix Access Gateway.

Ensuring Secure Access in the Enterprise

Endpoint security provides the means to scan endpoints, and ensure that they meet corporate standards to connect to the network. These scans include looking for file and registry settings, operating system versions and patch level, anti-virus is running and up to date, and that no unauthorized, illegal, or unlicensed executable code (including spy-ware, mal-ware, and trojans) is introduced. Prior to user authentication, Citrix endpoint security solutions interrogate endpoint devices to determine the level of access a user can obtain based on the information found during that interrogation.

The Citrix Endpoint Analysis SDK provides the capability to customize scans for devices accessing protected resources. The administrator can then use the results from the endpoint scans to:

Enforce policy-based access
Provide granular action control on resources

The Endpoint Analysis SDK is comprised of the following components:

Endpoint Analysis SDK Help - Instructions to use the SDK
API Quick Reference - Details on the objects and interfaces for the SDK
Sample Scan Packages - Custom scans already developed by Citrix using the SDK to assist in developing new packages.
