Linux, UNIX, or Mac Endpoint Requirements

Before installing the Ivanti Endpoint Security Agent on a supported Linux, UNIX, or Mac endpoint, ensure that it meets the necessary hardware and software requirements.

Processor: 500 MHz processor or higher

Physical RAM: 256 MBs or greater

Your Ivanti Endpoint Security endpoint may require additional RAM depending on the RAM requirements of other applications installed.

Disk Requirements:

  • Presence of a /tmp directory (/var/tmp on Oracle Solaris) with 100 MB of free space.
  • 50 MB of free space for the agent installation directory.
  • Ivanti Endpoint Security also recommends 100 Mb of unused disk space to download and install content.

Java Libraries: Ensure you have the appropriate Java libraries installed:

  • All UNIX endpoints and Mac OS X endpoints prior to version 10.7.3: Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 or later.
  • Mac OS X endpoints versions 10.7.3 and higher: Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 or later.
  • Linux endpoints: Oracle JRE 7 or later.

    • OpenJDK 7 can be substituted for Oracle Java JRE on the following operating systems:

    • CentOS Linux
    • Oracle Enterprise Linux
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise

    Refer to IcedTea Project for additional information.

Perl: Perl is needed for Linux content. Perl is automatically installed for all open-source Linux operating systems unless uninstalled.

Tip: To determine if you have Perl installed, type perl -v on a command line.
You can download perl from www.perl.org.

Network Connection: A 10 Mbps network connection with access to the Ivanti Endpoint Security server.

Antivirus: Ensure any antivirus software installed on the applicable endpoint computer is disabled.

Port Requirements:

  • Port 80. This must be open for Ivanti Endpoint Security module downloads.
  • Port 443. This must be open for Ivanti Endpoint Security policy download and general communication.
  • Ports 49152-65535. These ports are used as listener ports for check now commands, which are server-sent requests that agents use to check for tasks. Closing these ports delays agent tasks until they check inthemselves.
