Issue:<\/h3>\n

What are the steps to install WithSecure Client Security on a Windows computer?<\/p>\n

Resolution:<\/h3>\n

Note: <\/b>For the Client Security deployment, you need a\u00a0Policy Manager Server<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to manage the clients.<\/p>\n

Before you proceed with the installation, you need to configure the Policy Manager Server address and the ports in the policy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to the Policy Manager Console<\/li>\n
  2. Select a policy domain from the domain tree\n
      \n
    1. Note: if you only have Root: <\/strong>Right-click root and click New policy domain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Go to the Settings tab<\/li>\n
    3. Navigate to the Windows > Centralized management page<\/li>\n
    4. In the Policy Manager Server host communication <\/strong>settings, you need to configure the address and ports the clients will try to connect to after installation<\/li>\n
    5. Distribute the policy (Ctrl + D)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Download the installation package (.jar) file from WithSecure website\u00a0here<\/a>. After you have downloaded the .Jar file, it needs to be imported to the Policy Manager Server so that you can export a fully configured installation file.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Log in to the Policy Manager Console<\/li>\n
      2. Navigate to the Installation\u00a0<\/b>tab, then click on Installation Packages<\/b> and click Import<\/b><\/li>\n
      3. Choose the .Jar file you just downloaded<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Note:<\/b> Before you start to deploy the client, you need to choose what installation type you prefer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Export as MSI file and deploy via 3rd party software or locally running the installation file<\/li>\n
        • Push installation, to centrally install the client onto Windows hosts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Steps to export the MSI File:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. On the Installation\u00a0<\/b>tab, click on Installation\u00a0packages<\/b><\/li>\n
          2. Select the imported .Jar file from the list and click Export\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n
          3. Save it to your desired location (not<\/b> to a root folder of a drive, example C:\\)<\/li>\n
          4. Enter the license keycode, which is visible on your License Certificate<\/li>\n
          5. Select the features which you want to install<\/li>\n
          6. Choose product language<\/li>\n
          7. Select the initial policy<\/strong>, which will be in use until the host has been imported to a policy domain<\/li>\n
          8. In configure the Policy Manager Server address step, choose the Host identification method and click Next<\/strong><\/li>\n
          9. In the Conflicting software <\/strong>step, select if you want the installation to try to uninstall any conflicting software<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Once you have the fully configured .msi file, deploy the MSI package using a 3rd party deployment software in your organization or run it locally on a host.<\/p>\n

            Steps for push installation:<\/b><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Click on push installation to Windows Hosts<\/b> and add you Host.<\/li>\n
            2. After you have found the host from your domain tree, select the .jar file you imported and authenticate with your admin account (the account\u00a0you are logged in) and click Next<\/b>.<\/li>\n
            3. Click\u00a0Start<\/b>.<\/li>\n
            4. After the Start you will be prompt with the Client Wizard page, so click Next<\/b><\/li>\n
            5. Enter your license keycode and click Next<\/b>.<\/li>\n
            6. Choose the preferred language.<\/li>\n
            7. Set your policy domain or host and click Next<\/b>.\u00a0<\/li>\n

            11. Choose the restart option and finish your installation Wizard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Once the client has been installed, the host will be listed in the Pending\u00a0<\/b>list, in the "hosts outside the domain tree" section on the left side of the Policy Manager Console window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
