Hello group,

I'm attempting to create a custom ForcePoint ( WebsenseEndpoint ) installer for hosting on Self Service and automated deployment via policy. At present installing ForcePoint is a manual and tedious process that involves installing two separate packages with administrative privileges. These two packages require launching and installation to be done from within the directory that contains the required " ca.cer " , " DLPClientConfig.hsw " and " localConfig.xml " files ( listed below ) .... I've used ForcePoints " WebsenseEndpointPackageBuilder.exe " package builder application on Windows which creates the folder contents listed below, great but still requires manual installation ...

Does anyone have any insight or had luck creating a custom package in composer ? I've tried multiple times with little to no luck...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ForcePoint direcoty contents -

1) ca.cer
2) DLPClientConfig.hsw
3) localConfig.xml
4) WebsenseEndpoint.pkg
5) WebsenseEPClassifier.pkg

Cheers,
ColonelClank

Maybe your issue is the single quotes in the first 2 lines of your script? Also, does ls -lah /private/tmp show the files, or do you need to uses /tmp?

We're deploying the files to /private/tmp/EndpointInstaller with Composer.

Postinstall script is this:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /tmp/EndpointInstaller/WebsenseEndpoint.pkg -target /

    Just wanted to add that following note, that ForcePoints instructions are not working -

    My Composer post install code ,

    '#!/bin/sh'
    '## postinstall'
    sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /private/tmp/ForcePoint_20.02/EndpointInstaller/WebsenseEndpoint.pkg -target /

    @merps @colonelclank have you managed to get this working on Big Sur? I'm trying to get it working for a client and get several system certificates popups that need admin to approve which is no use in this organisation as they aren't admins. I have 20.12 as the client version.
