Sophos Connect MacOS Deployment

Hello JeffCooper,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, please refer the following useful KB articles below:

> Sophos Connect client (IPsec and SSL VPN): https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.5/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/UserPortalHelp/VPN/index.html
> Sophos Connect client: Compatibility with platforms: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.5/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/VPN/RemoteAccessVPN/VPNSophosConnectClient/index.html

Thanks. Yes, I understand what's involved in deploying. The issue is that, as the installation package is put together right now, there's no way to deploy the app without an alert requiring user interaction with an Administrator password. We have dozens of computers, and use a combination of Mosyle and Munki to manage the deployments. All are standard users which, on a Mac, means they do no have admin access.

Also, the second link is interesting because it seems to indicate the sophos connect client does not run on ARM. But it does. I have an ARM machine and have been testing it and it works. But I have admin access so understood what to do when I got the privacy prompt asking for control of System Events.

Thanks,

Jeff
