SMP Agent for Mac 7.5 SP1 Cannot Be Installed Due to Expired Certificate 

Aug 26, 2015 01:18 PM

When installing the SMP agent for Mac, the installation fails or displays an expired certificate message. This affects only the SMP Agent for Mac 7.5 SP1+. It does not affect any 7.6 versions.

When running the agent install from a command line, the following error appears in the console:

installer: Certificate used to sign package is not trusted. Use -allowUntrusted to override.

When using the GUI, an error similar to the following will appear. If using a command line, the process may fail.

The  certificate used in these pkg files has expired. Newer versions of these SMP Agent pkg install files are not affected since they were signed with a newer certificate. 

Resolution:

Symantec has provided two sets of updated pkg files. These are for: 

  • 7.5 SP1 GA (This set of files applies to 7.5 SP1, HF1, HF2 and HF3.)
  • ​7.5 SP1 HF4

Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the correct, applicable file for your system to the Notification Server.
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Rename or move the existing files, if desired, but they are really of no use.
  4. Copy the included pkg and manifest files to the correct destination directory on the NS.
The correct destination path on the Notification Server is:  \Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\NSCap\bin\UNIX\Agent\Mac\x86


Note: Do not move or rename any files in this directory other than those in the attached zip file. They are all needed for a correct agent installation. 

Note: The affected pkg files for the 7.5 SP1 GA release (plus their corresponding .manifest files) are: 
  • AltirisAgent.pkg
  • AltirisBaseTaskHandlers.pkg
  • AltirisClientTaskAgent.pkg
  • AltirisInventoryRuleAgent.pkg
  • AltirisSoftwareManagementFramework.pkg

Note: The affected pkg files for the 7.5 SP1 HF4 release (plus their corresponding .manifest files) are: 
  • AltirisBaseTaskHandlers.pkg
  • AltirisClientTaskAgent.pkg
  • AltirisSoftwareManagementFramework.pkg
