App Control: How to Update the Server Address or Port on an Agent (macOS)

[#1]

Environment

• App Control Agent: All Supported Versions
• macOS: All Supported Versions

Objective

To modify the macOS Agent to use a new Server Address and/or Port Number.

Resolution

1. Open a Terminal and issue the following commands:

   cd /Applications/Bit9/Tools/
   ./b9cli --password GlobalCLIPassword
   ./b9cli --tamperprotect 0
   ./b9cli --setserver <new server address> <new server port>

2. Verify the changes by issuing the command:

   ./b9cli --status

3. If necessary, restart the Agent:

   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bit9.Daemon.plist
   sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bit9.Daemon.plist
   

Additional Notes

• These steps are not intended to be used to migrate Agents from one Console to another, only for changes to the Server Address or Port Number
• Verify Tamper Protection is enabled after completing the changes.
• If specifying an IPv6 Address instead of a FQDN the command to use is slightly different:

  ./b9cli --setserver "[IPV6Address]:41002:{b9}ServerIDHere"
