Mac Clients

You can optionally use the clientsettings.cfg file to create custom settings on a Mac Client, for example to assign the new Client to a specific parent relay. The clientsettings.cfg file must be available in the same directory as the PKG file and the actionsite.afmx file.

To set the relay, add the following lines to the clientsettings.cfg file:
IP:http://besrelayserver.domain.com:52311/bfmirror/downloads/
__RelayServer1=http://relay.domain.com:52311/bfmirror/downloads/
Note: You can add other client settings at the time of installation of the new client, in additional to the relay settings, by including a line for each client setting to be set during client installation.

In the Finder, right-click BESAgent-9.2.xxx.x-BigFix_MacOSXxx.x.pkg file and choose Show Package Contents to navigate within the package.

The installation package is created with the BESAgent Installer Builder app, which builds it into a read-only compressed .dmg file. If you need to edit the package, copy it out of this read-only disk image.

Note: The QnA executable is also included in the client installation package. On Macintosh clients, to use it you must launch the Terminal program and run:
{sudo} /Library/BESAgent/BESAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/QnA
The sudo command is optional but some inspectors run only if you are Super User (root).
