macOS full Client

Prev Next

The macOS full Client is designed for use on a normal user's device, however it requires administrator rights to install. When a user clicks the .dmg file the full Client will then be installed with the auto-start option enabled.

The full Client supports auto-update and when the user initiates the update it will be updated.

Using the command line to start the Client

Once installed, when Appgate SDP is run normally (when a user clicks it), then the Client launches.

It is also possible to pre-install the profile link at run time and avoid any subsequent user interactions required. By example; to pre-install a Client profile (so the users will go straight to the sign-in form) run:
/Applications/Appgate\ SDP.app/Contents/MacOS/Appgate\ SDP --url appgate://Controller.myco..com/profilename... --novalidate

Logs

Client logs

Under 'FILES' they are at ~/.appgatesdp/log

  • log- includes the logs from the main service

  • ui- includes logs from the UI process

At the end of everyday a log-date and a ui-date record is archived for 30 days.

Driver logs

Use the macOS utility 'Console' to view client logs under var/log appgate>driver.log

Under 'FILES' they are at /var/log/appgate/driver.log

From 'terminal' you can also enter: sudo cat /var/log/appgate/driver.log

Log Level

To change the log level just start the Client from the command line:

/Applications/AppGate\ SDP.app/Contents/MacOS/Appgate\ SDP --loglevel <value>

The <value> options are: Dump, Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal

Info is the normal setting – moving to the right will reduce the amount of log records saved - moving to the left is not recommended unless instructed to do so by AppGate support.

To return to normal - quit the Client and then restart normally.
