Upgrading Zscaler Client Connector
This feature applies only to Zscaler Client Connector version 4.2.1 for Windows or later.
You can require an upgrade password if you update Zscaler Client Connector in unattended mode on your users' devices (e.g., you use GPO, SCCM, or other device management methods).
You can configure update settings to update Zscaler Client Connector automatically to the latest version or to a version you specify. If you disable the auto-update option, you can use this password to provide additional security.
Before you can upgrade using the password, you need to configure it. To learn more, see Configuring Passwords for Access in Unattended Mode.
