Forcing the allowance for Forcepoint F1E agent to run in the background

To ensure the Forcepoint F1E agent runs in the background and is not manually disabled by end users, you must add the Team Identifier to the Managed Login Items section of your pppc profile.

If the Forcepoint F1E agent is disabled in System Preferences > General > Login Items > Allow in the Background, the agent fails to run after a system restart. Using Jamf, you can configure the profile, and force the switch to enable the Forcepoint F1E agent.

Steps

  1. Open Jamf Pro, enter the administrator name and password, and then click Log in.
  2. On the Computers tab, select Configuration Profiles.
  3. Select the pppc profile.
    The profile view opens.

  4. Click Edit.
  5. In the sidebar, locate and select the Managed Login Items section.
    The Managed Login Items section opens.

  6. Turn on Include.
  7. In Rule Type, select Team Identifier.
  8. In Rule Value, enter the F1E team identifier ID as C489D5E8E8.
    You can also copy the team identifier ID from the System Extensions tab, and then paste it in Rule Value.
  9. Click Save.
    The Redistribution Options window opens.

  10. To distribute the profile to all computers, select Distribute to All.
    On deploying the profile, the Forcepoint F1E endpoint switch is enabled in Allow in the Background.
