Deploying the New Client

Client packages for Mac clients must be distributed manually and do not use Software Deployment.

To get the Mac client package:

1. In SmartEndpoint, in the Deployment tab, select an entity in the Action column and click Load client installer file.

2. Browse to the new client package.

   The selected package is put in the Package Repository.

3. Click Mac Client > Download.

4. In the window that opens, select which blades to include in the package and click OK.

5. Optional: If Remote Access VPN is part of the package, you can configure a VPN site.

6. Select the location to save the package.

   The selected package starts to download.

7. The package shows in the configured location.

   Use a third party distribution method to distribute the ZIP file to Endpoint users.

Note - In the E82.50 Release, the Endpoint Security Installer.app bundle is not notarized.

To avoid macOS security warnings, make sure the installer does not have the com.apple.quarantine attribute at the time of the installation.

1. macOS does not add the com.apple.quarantine attribute when downloading from shared network folders or from the removal disk.

2. If the com.apple.quarantine attribute is added, it is possible to remove it manually using the xattr command.

Installing the Client

To install the Mac client package on client computers:

1. Double-click the ZIP file to expand it.

2. Click the APP file that shows next to the zip file.

   The Check Point Endpoint Security Installer opens.

3. Click Install.

4. Enter a Name and Password to authorize the installation and click OK.

   Wait while package installs.

5. A message shows that the package installed successfully or failed for a specified reason. Click Close.

   If the installation was successful, the Endpoint Security icon shows in the menu bar.
