We have quite a number of Macs (not surprising at a university) but no official Mac support. Nevertheless we offer Sophos for Macs (in a downloadable .zip archive).
When Sophos is installed on a Mac on our network it connects to the management server from where it gets the update policy (the CIDs contain the correct mrinit.conf for RMS to work). Of course this does not work if the Mac is used at home. For windows PCs putting sauconf.xml placed in the appropriate directory does the trick. There are some articles in the knowledgebase but usually a Mac is required with which you can configure the CID (if I understand correctly). I believe no magic is actually involved and the configuration is stored somewhere in a .plist file (XML format). I suspect that the catalogues are involved and configcid.exe does not support a CID for OSX.
Or is there a "simple" way to pre-configure autoupdate (even if it's unsupported)? sau.plist looks suspicous :smileywink:
