Deploy the Symantec extension to monitor Edge
Before you enable monitoring for Microsoft Edge on macOS endpoints, review the list of supported Microsoft Edge releases. For more information, see Applications Supported by Endpoint Prevent on macOS.
Before you begin, confirm that you have allowed full disk access for the agent and the endpoint security host application (SEHA.app) on macOS endpoints. See Allow Full-disk Access for the DLP Agent on macOS Endpoints and Allow full-disk access for the endpoint security host application (SEHA.app) on macOS endpoints respectively.
Complete the following steps to create an MDM configuration profile to deploy the new Microsoft Edge extension for macOS endpoints using MDM settings. For illustration purposes, the instructions assume that you plan to deploy the extension using Jamf, an IT management application.
Alternatively, you can navigate to the Symantec extension in the Edge Add-ins store and then click
Get
to install the extension on a single endpoint. Make sure that the Edge Add-ins store URL is not blocked by your organization's network firewall.To view the Symantec extension in the Edge add-ins store, visit https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ifcoeclffkpmgoodbmpmfmcpleljpkfl.
- Create a browser policy (.plistfile) which you can upload to Jamf.For example:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>AllowJavaScriptfromAppleEvents</key> <true/> <key>InPrivateModeAvailability</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>ExtensionSettings</key> <dict> <key>ifcoeclffkpmgoodbmpmfmcpleljpkfl</key> <dict> <key>installation_mode</key> <string>force_installed</string> <key>update_url</key> <string>https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx</string> </dict> </dict> </dict> </plist>
- In Jamf, select a configuration profile.
- Navigate toApplication & Custom Settings, and then clickAdd.
- UnderCreation Method, selectUpload File (PLIST file).
- In thePreference Domainfield, typecom.microsoft.Edge.
- Click theUpload PLIST filebutton, and then browse to and select the.plistfile that you created in Step 1.
- ClickSave.
To verify that the extension has been deployed successfully, on a macOS endpoint, click the
Microsoft Edge
menu on the macOS toolbar and then select Microsoft Edge Extensions
. Make sure that the Symantec extension is displayed in the list of installed extensions.
