Problem Description
Users managing MacOS with Jamf seek a method to deploy the Forcepoint Endpoint through it as a means to bypass the need to permit the Endpoint kernel extension (kext) to be loaded per machine. As the Endpoint package is actually a two-in-one .zip file, this article describes a way to accomplish this. awk -F "[<>]" '/CFBundleShortVersionString/ {getline;print $3;exit}' /Library/PreferencePanes/Forcepoint.prefPane/Contents/Info.plist |
Resolution
To deploy a Forcepoint Endpoint to MacOS users using Jamf, the first requirement is to prepare an Endpoint package:
sudo unzip ./FORCEPOINT-ONE-ENDPOINT-Mac.zip sudo installer -package ./EndpointInstaller/WebsenseEndpoint.pkg -target / Note Update the paths or file names as needed. Include the necessary HWSconfig.xml if a Web Endpoint is involved as well WebsenseEndpoint.pkg (not WebsenseEPClassifier.pkg) contains the installer and will call on the other files from the zip, so run the command inside the directory where the zip has been extracted.Note As per the installation documentation, the machine needs to log off and log back in for the installation to be considered complete.
