Cisco Secure Client Installation (macOS)
Description
Need to install the Cisco Secure Client on your macOS devices? FileWave has you covered! Below are the steps to download the FileWave template, upload your CSC package, and get ready to deploy to your macOS devices.
Ingredients
-
FW Admin
-
Cisco Secure Client DMG file
- TCC profile for kernel/system extension
- Install CiscoSecureClient.fileset.zip
- Profile - Approved Cisco Secure Client System and Kernel Extensions.fileset.zip
Directions
-
Download and import the two files into FileWave and create a Fileset Group labeled Cisco Secure Client Install or similar
-
Open the Fileset Install CiscoSecureClient to view its contents. You should see three items - the .dmg placeholder and two scripts.
-
Proceed through the Cisco process of creating your CSC-readable DMG file. The one in the template Fileset is an example and does not contain your XML profile configurations. Please refer to Related Content below to create your Cisco CSC-readable DMG file.
-
After the completion of the CSC-readable DMG, replace the one in the Fileset with yours
-
Open the install CSC script to modify the names of the updated CSC-readable DMG and the Cisco Secure Client version number PKG installer to match what you have. If there are spaces, use the correct syntax (i.e., Cisco\ Secure\ Client.pkg).
The script will attach the DMG to the volume of the machine, locate the PKG installer, and extract it to the root directory (you are welcome to change to a different directory, if desired). Then the script will sleep for 60 seconds to allow installation of the client and detach the DMG from the machine.
-
Modify the check_profile script and its launch argument to ensure it matches the profile bundle ID. Double-click to open the Profile and copy the bundle ID.
-
Save the contents and assign the Fileset group with both Fileset and profile to a few test devices. The Fileset Group will deploy both profile and Fileset, and once the profile has been installed, the Fileset with your Cisco Secure Client will be installed.
Notes
Be sure to test with a few devices before mass-deploying to your production devices. It's always a good habit to test on a few devices to confirm the proper installation and configuration of the Cisco Secure Client.
