Question - Remote Access VPN Auto upgrade

RedPill15 — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 02:37:16 GMT

Hi Guys!

Recently I tried to setup a gateway to automatically install the client upgrades, as checked the first two steps are to download the automatic upgrade file and rename the files :

To set up a gateway to automatically install client upgrades:
1. Download Endpoint Security VPN for Mac E82.00 Signature for Automatic Upgrade.
2. Rename the Endpoint_Security_VPN.pkg,
Endpoint_Security_VPN.pkg.signature and ver.ini files to TRAC.pkg,
TRAC.pkg.signature and trac_ver_osx.txt respectively.

However I couldn't find the ver.ini file for the VPN client for the MacOS, may I know where can I get this file to get the build number of the vpn client for MacOs?

Thanks.

You can create trac_ver_osx.txt with just the build number similar to trac_ver.txt.
If you've installed the client, you can get the build number from an existing install.
Otherwise, you will need to uncompress the pkg file (using something like xar -xf).
In there you will find a file called Distribution that lists the build number in it.

Hi!
I tried to setup Auto upgrade for MacOS as well. But it seem not working. I followed the instructions from the Release Notes of the client I want to upgrade to.
Can you tell me if you've managed to set it up? Also, do I understand correctly that the file trac_ver_osx.txt should have a number from the line <product version="xxxxxxxx"/> that we took out of the .pkg?

You are correct about the contents of trac_ver_osx.txt.

Maybe best to create new post about it, since this one is few years old, but Phoneboy is correct.
