Install the Mac Agent
The traditional way of installing the Software Vulnerability Manager Agent is as a daemon (similar to local service in Windows) as it will operate under the Mac OS X LocalSystem account.
Install the binary by using the Mac Terminal services as follows:
|
•
|
Pass: (Administrator password) |
|
•
|
whoami (should be root) |
|
2.
|
Browse to the directory where you have placed the csia binary file: |
|
•
|
Type the following command to install the Agent: sudo ./csia -i |
|
•
|
Type the following command to launch the Agent scan: ./csia –c |
The Agent shows in the Software Vulnerability Manager console approximately 15 minutes after the installation.
Use the “-h” switch to see a full list of parameters supported by the Agent.
