Cause
Unmanaged agents can not receive providers from the Central Computer (CC) for Modules that require a provider package because of the missing rights.
Some newer modules (SM 6.5 and greater, CGW 2.0 and greater, etc.) now come with an unmanaged agent installer.
In order to load a provider on the unmanaged agent you need to copy the provider cab file from the Central Computer to the agent. The Security Manager service will then kick off the extraction and install of the provider in the background on it's next check for updated providers.
Additional Information
Additional providers may be release in the future and should be able to use this process if they do not come with an unmanaged agent install package.
