Installation and system requirements
Note: Client Security for Mac 15.03 requires Policy Manager 15.10 or higher.
Installation procedure
It is strongly recommended that you remove all other security products before installation. The product installer will notify you of incompatible software before installation.
Import the product installation JAR package to Policy Manager Console. To create a customized installer configured to run with your specific instance of Policy Manager Server, use the export tool in Policy Manager Console. The export wizard will guide you through the procedure and collect all the required information and produce a Multipackage installer script (MPKG) that you should copy and launch on target workstations. Consult the Policy Manager Administrator's Guide for the full step-by-step instructions on how to use the export tool.
Important notes:
- Use either a fully qualified DNS name (for example
policymanager01.test.example.com) or IP address for the Policy Manager Server used for the centralized management of Client Security for Mac. Hostnames or other partial addresses are not recognized by the client. - Do not change the filename of the installer package, as the information required to connect to the Policy Manager Server is encoded into it.
