Rippling uses Chef Infra Client (CIC) by Chef Software Inc. for client management. It’s installed as a separate program by the Rippling Agent installer. For stability reasons, Rippling updates CIC as little as possible. Consequently leaving Xenter’s systems open to potential vulnerabilities.

To install CIC, download the latest version here: https://www.chef.io/downloads/tools/infra-client

If manually updating, install through PowerShell/Command Prompt. You’ll need to accent Chef’s License Agreement with the following arugments:

ADDLOCAL="ChefClientFeature,ChefSchTaskFeature" CHEF_LICENSE="accept-silent"

Note

If you need access to Chef’s commands within PowerShell, add ChefPSModuleFeature to the argument line:

ADDLOCAL="ChefClientFeature,ChefSchTaskFeature,ChefPSModuleFeature" CHEF_LICENSE="accept-silent"

If updating through PatchMyPC (PMPC) right-click Cheft Infra Client (x64) (under Cheft Software, Inc), click Modify Command Line, then add the arugments in the box that appears.
