Administrator Guide

Best Practices
During deployment, be sure to follow IT best practices. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Controlled test environments for initial tests
• Staggered deployments to users
Install Client
At this point, users who were added to the whitelist can register at: https://yoursecurityservername.domain.com:8443/cloudweb/
register.
After registering, the user receives an email directing them to https://yoursecurityservername.domain.com:8443/cloudweb to log in and
download the appropriate client.
Installing the Mac client is optional for administrators, as users typically install the Mac client themselves (after registration) from https://
yoursecurityservername.domain.com:8443/cloudweb.
However, you can install the Mac client if your organization requires you to do so. Install the Data Guardian client through the user
interface or by command line using any push technology available to your organization. Registration and Activation by the user are both
still required.
Upgrade From Previous Versions of Cloud Edition
If an enterprise has a previous version of Cloud Edition and upgrades to Data Guardian, the previous version of Cloud Edition is removed.
NOTE:
If the enterprise upgrades from Cloud Edition to Data Guardian, users must authenticate and re-link Data Guardian with
their cloud storage provider. For more information on authentication, see the online Data Guardian Help.
Install Options
To install/upgrade the client, select one of the following:
• Interactive Installation - This is the easiest method to install Data Guardian for Mac. However, use this method only if you plan to install
the client on one computer at a time.
or
• Command Line Installation - For this advanced installation method, administrators must be experienced with command line syntax. This
method can be used for a scripted installation, using batch files, or any other push technology available to your organization.
• During a sweep after installation, if a dialog states that you have a failure related to a valid certificate, see Troubleshooting.
