Remote component installation

Remote installation of selected components is possible by creating a configuration file and defining which ESET Endpoint Security components are to be active and which should be disabled.

Create Configuration File

The configuration file is in JSON format and can be created by Component install utility. All components of ESET Endpoint Security are contained within the file and each can be switched on or off.

The file has to be saved in the location below in order for the installer to automatically recognize it.

/Library/Application Support/ESET/Security/ComponentInstallation/comp_install.json


important

It is necessary to configure the file to have owner:group set to root:wheel and access rights of 640(-rw-r-----).

The configuration file can be either printed out by the Component install utility as it is described above, contained in application bundle using ./compinst --print option and then modifying the settings, or manually created by defining the format as shown below:

{

  "antiphishing":1,

  "email_access":1,

  "network_access":1,

  "vapm":1,

  "web_protection":1

}
