Environment
- App Control Console (formerly CB Protection): All Supported Versions
Objective
How to verify the process is marked as an installer in the console?
Resolution
- Log into the App Control console
- Navigate to Assets > Files
- Look for the file by Hash or by Name, adding the respective filters
- Click on View details in file in question
- Confirm it is marked as installer
Additional Notes
- Linux files are not recognized as installers.
- Mac files recognized as installers are packages – files with .PKG extensions and properly defined archive headers. Because of this, using the Mark as installer feature might be particularly useful for these platforms
- Files identified as installers do transfer their approval status to files that they generate, if any
- When troubleshooting unexpected blocks compare the hash of the process in the block event, to the process marked as installer, as there may be different versions of the same file
