Install the
CylanceOPTICS
agent for
macOS

  1. Before you install the
    CylanceOPTICS
    agent on devices, you must configure the following on those devices to disable proxy bypass. This is required for
    CylanceHYBRID
    environments, as it ensures that the
    CylanceOPTICS
    agent always uses a specified proxy server to connect to the
    CylanceOPTICS
    cloud services:
    1. In /Library/Application Support/Cylance/Desktop/registry/LocalMachine/Software/Cylance/Desktop/, add the following to the values.xml file:
      <value name=“ProxyServer” type=“string”>http://
      proxy_server_IP
      :
      port
      </value>
    2. In /Library/Application Support/Cylance/Optics/Configuration, create an ExternalConfig.xml file with the following:
      <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?><EnforceProxyServer>true</EnforceProxyServer>
  2. In the management console, on the menu bar, click
    Settings > Deployments
    .
  3. In the
    Product
    drop-down list, click
    CylanceOPTICS
    .
  4. Select the OS, version, and format, and click
    Download
    .
  5. Using your organization’s preferred software distribution method, deploy and run the installation file on devices.
    If you want to install the
    CylanceOPTICS
