Manually deploying Forcepoint F1E agents on a Mac endpoint machine

Steps

  1. Mac packages contain a zip file, FORCEPOINT-ONE-ENDPOINT-Mac.zip. Copy FORCEPOINT-ONE-ENDPOINT-Mac.zip to the endpoint machine, then double-click the file.
  2. MacOS automatically creates a directory named “EndpointInstaller,” which contains a file called WebsenseEndpoint.pkg.
  3. If you are deploying a Forcepoint Web Security Proxy Connect Endpoint package, copy the HWSConfig.xml configuration file to the EndpointInstaller folder. This XML file must be in the same folder as the WebsenseEndpoint.pkg file before starting the installation. See Creating the HWSConfig.xml file (Proxy Connect Endpoint only)for more information.
  4. Double-click WebsenseEndpoint.pkg to start the installation process.
  5. Click Continue, and agree to the license agreement.
  6. Click Install.
  7. Enter a user name and password for a user with administrator rights to install the software.

    A confirmation message is shown when the Forcepoint One Endpoint software is successfully installed.

  8. If you are installing Forcepoint DLP Endpoint v20.12 on macOS 11 (Big Sur) onwards, you are prompted to enable full disk access (FDA) for 4 new processes:
    1. When the installer opens the prompt, click Open Full Disk Access to open the macOS System Preferences window.
    2. On the Privacy tab, select ESDaemonBundle.app and Websense Endpoint Helper.app.
    3. Click the + button under the list.
    4. Go to Library/Application Support/Websense Endpoint/DLP/, select wsdlpd, then click Open.
    5. Verify that wsdlpd is included in the list and selected.
    6. Click the + button under the list.
    7. Go to Library/Application Support/Websense Endpoint/EPClassifier/, select EndPointClassifier, then click Open.
    8. Verify that EndPointClassifier is included in the list and selected.
    9. Close the Security & Privacy window.
      Note: If you are deploying Forcepoint DLP Endpoint using Jamf, you can enable FDA for these processes using a configuration file. See the Enabling Full Disk Access for Forcepoint DLP Endpoint on macOS 10.15 and macOS 11 Knowledge Base article.
  9. To complete the install, restart the endpoint machine.
