Applies to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8.0 for Mac

By default, Mac OS X does not support Active Directory and has remote access disabled. Therefore remote installation of Network Agent in Mac OS X is possible with certain conditions:
  • It is necessary to enable the service Remote Login in Mac OS X. It can be enabled in the window System settings > General access:



  • It is necessary to have a SSH client (e.g. Putty) to be able to access Mac OS X;

  • It is necessary to know the administrator password for Mac OS X to be able to install Network Agent.

First of all it is necessary to create a Network Agent installation package:

  1. Open Kaspersky Administration Kit Console and go to the node Repositories > Installation packages, and click Add an installation package:



  2. Click Next, enter new package name and click Next;

  3. Select Make Kaspersky Lab's application package in the next window and click Select;

  4. Choose the .kud file inside Network Agent folder. It should be in the same folder with files install.sh and klnagentmac.dmg:





  5. Click Next. Wait for the files to upload to the Administration Server;

  6. Click Finish.

    After creating an installation package, it is necessary to mount the Administration Server shared folder as a network drive in Mac OS X:

    1. Connect to the host running Mac OS X using a SSH client;

    2. Use the following command to create a folder KLSHARE:

      mkdir /Volumes/KLSHARE

    3. Use the following command to mount the Administration Server shared folder:

      mount_smbfs //[admin_login]:[password]@[AK_server_address]/KLSHARE /Volumes/KLSHARE

      where:

      admin_login – administrator account name on the host running Administration Server
      password – administrator password
      AK_server_address – Administration Server IP address

    4. Use the following command to launch the installation script:

      cd /Volumes/KLSHARE/Packages/[klnagent_package_folder]
      sudo ./install.sh


      where klnagent_package_folder is the folder containing Network Agent installation package.

      It is necessary to enter superuser password to execute the command.

    5. Use the following command to unmount the network drive:

      umount /Volumes/KLSHARE

    6. Use the utility klnagchk to verify that Network Agent functions:

      cd /Library/Application\ Support/Kaspersky\ Lab/klnagent/Binaries/
      sudo ./klnagchk
