Definition of a macOS application in the IBI-aws Admin

To define a macOS application in the IBI-aws Admin, proceed as follows:

Application Pool → Applications

There, a new application can be created and one or more processes can then be defined, based on which the application is identified.

Short procedure:

Create a new application and assign a name
Switch to the Processes tab
Use Add to define a new process

Process name

The process name is used to identify the application on macOS.

The actual name of the process must be specified
The correct name can be determined, for example, via Activity Monitor

Under macOS, the process name may differ from the name of the same application on Windows

Process path

Optionally, a process path can be defined.
This specifies the path to the executable file of the process.

The full path to the executable file must be specified
The path can be determined via Activity Monitor using the function “Inspect Selected Processes”

Example for Google Chrome:

CODE

/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

In the IBI-aws Admin, the macOS path is stored internally using \. This is expected behavior and does not affect the functionality of process detection.

Version

Optionally, Min- und Max-Version can be defined for the process.

Version specifications restrict the validity of the message to specific versions
Without a version specification, the message applies to all detected versions of the application

Web applications

The IBI-aws Client for macOS currently supports the browsers Google Chrome and Safari.

Web applications for macOS are currently not added via the Web Application section in the IBI-aws Admin, but via regular application. This behavior will change in a future version.

Proceed as follows:

Create a new application under Application Pool → Applications
Specify Google Chrome or Safari as the process name
Use Exact as the detection type
