Add CPM for Mac to the IBM BigFix Server

Install Trend Micro Core Protection Module for Mac by adding its site masthead to the list of managed sites in the IBM BigFix Console. If you do not have the Core Protection Module for Mac and Reporting mastheads, contact your Trend Micro sales representative to obtain them.

CPM for Mac includes a Web Reputation component that replaces the stand-alone version. CPM for Mac allows for the migration of any pre-existing WPM Blocked and Approved Lists.
Note: If you are a current Web Protection Module (WPM) customer, remove any installed clients and then the WPM site before you install CPM for Mac.

Before you add the CPM for Mac site make sure that the BigFix Server has an active Internet connection so it can connect to the source of the masthead files. If the BigFix Server cannot connect to the Internet, the request will remain pending until a connection can be made.

  1. From any computer with the IBM BigFix Console installed, locate and double-click the masthead file to automatically add its site. Alternatively, in the BigFix Console menu, click Tools > Add External Site Masthead.

  2. In the Add Site window that opens, locate the masthead file, or files, that you received from your Trend Micro Sales Representative. The following masthead is available (file name is shown here):
    • Trend Micro Core Protection Module.efxm
    • Trend Reporting.efxm
    • Trend Common Firewall.efxm (optional)

    If you are already a CPM user, simply add CPM for Mac and Trend Micro Mac Protection Module.efxm.

  3. The masthead files that you selected are shown in the Manage Site window. Click Gather All Sites, and then OK.

  4. At the prompt, type your private key password and click OK.

The BigFix Server begins gathering the associated files and content that is associated with the mastheads that you added, and installs them.
