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

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

You can print out the configuration file using the Component install utility as described above. Alternatively, include it in the application bundle using the ./compinst --print option and then modify the settings. You can also create it manually by defining the format as shown below:

{

"antiphishing":1,

"email_access":1,

"network_access":1,

"vapm":1,

"web_protection":1

}

For complete list of components in ESET Endpoint Security, please use the print option in Component install utility.
