Objective
How do you install the Mac Agent manually on an OSx endpoint?
Resolution
For Mac computers, you install the Agent by using the appropriate installer DMG file. Installers for Mac are named as follows, varying by policy:
policyname-mac.dmg
The following procedure assumes you have already:
- uploaded agent and rule packages
- created one or more security policies for your agents
- downloaded the appropriate installer
To install a new agent on a Mac computer:1. Open a Terminal window and change directory to the location where the installer was
downloaded (by default, the user-specific Download directory).
cd ~/Downloads2. To begin the installation, double-click on the agent installation file you downloaded,
policyname-
mac.dmg. A standard package installation dialog begins.
3. Respond to the installation dialog prompts, and when the dialog indicates the
installation was successful, click
Close. The agent begins operating immediately.
4. The Mac firewall may detect the agent as a new application and block access to the
network. Instruct users to permanently allow incoming connections to
b9daemon. Additional Notes
Please see also the Release Notes for your version of CB Protection for any special considerations.
