How to Install the Endpoint Protector Linux Client

Overview​

This article provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Endpoint Protector Linux client.

For the full reference, see Linux under Agent Install Parameters in the Agent documentation.

Instructions​

To install the Endpoint Protector Linux Client, follow the steps below:

  1. Download the client:

    • Ubuntu and RedHat (the main supported distributions) are available directly from the Endpoint Protector console under System Configuration > Client Software.
    • For other distributions (Debian, Fedora, Pardus OS, AWS Linux, OpenSUSE, SUSE, SLED Linux Enterprise Server), raise a ticket in the Support Portal — these are provided on request after validation by the Netwrix Product Team.

  2. After downloading and extracting the client, edit the options.sh file.

  3. Remove the # character from the following six lines:

    #EPPCLIENT_WS_SERVER=set.this.to.the.endpointprotector.server.com
    #export EPPCLIENT_WS_SERVER
    #EPPCLIENT_WS_PORT=443
    #export EPPCLIENT_WS_PORT
    #EPPCLIENT_DEPARTMENT_CODE=defdep
    #export EPPCLIENT_DEPARTMENT_CODE

  4. Additionally, replace set.this.to.the.endpointprotector.server.com with the Endpoint Protector Server IP address or FQDN/DNS.

  5. Save the modified options.sh file.

  6. Install the client by running the install.sh file.

note

For RedHat-based distributions (CentOS, RedHat, Fedora, AWS Linux 2, OpenSuse, SUSE, SLED Linux Enterprise Server), an additional step is required after running install.sh to set the Endpoint Protector Server IP. The exact method depends on your distribution. See RedHat based distributions for details.
