BeyondTrust EPM: Inspector

Leverage swiftDialog to display a user-friendly message about the health of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management for Mac, while capturing various under-the-hood settings behind-the-scenes

Vendor Overview

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management allows organizations to:

Enforce least privilege dynamically to prevent malware, ransomware, and identity-based attacks, achieve compliance across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints, and enable your zero trust strategy — without compromising on productivity.

Inspiration

During a recent case with BeyondTrust Support, we were asked to obtain the output of several elevated Terminal commands from the affected user’s Mac.

Having previously written a similar solution for CrowdStrike Falcon, creating a health inspector for BeyondTrust EPM seemed like the obvious solution.

Capture Config for macOS

As part of its Mac suite of Endpoint Privilege Management products, BeyondTrust offers a standalone log-capturing tool named CaptureConfig.app which is deployed only as needed to endpoints which are not working as expected. While full-featured, live IT Support interaction is required to actually execute the app and retrieve its output.

While certainly not a replacement for CaptureConfig.app, BeyondTrust EPM Inspector.zsh allows affected end-users to self-diagnose EPM-related issues and captures its output to a Jamf Pro Policy Log, which can be easily shared with BeyondTrust Support representatives, without the “let’s-schedule-a-remote-support-session” requirements of the CaptureConfig.app.

Configuration

Complete the following steps to display a user-friendly message about the health of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management for Mac, while capturing various under-the-hood settings behind-the-scenes with swiftDialog.

A. Customize the BeyondTrust EPM Inspector.zsh script for your environment

Review and adjust the Global Variables as required for your environment
- scriptLog (i.e., the location of your client-side logs)

Set your preferred script defaults (which can be optionally trumped in a policy’s script parameters)
- Parameter 4: operationMode
  - debug: Used when testing the script
  - normal: Outputs basic information to the Jamf Pro Policy Log
  - verbose: Outputs basic information to the Jamf Pro Policy Log and detailed information to scriptLog
- Parameter 5: anticipationDuration (i.e., the number of seconds end-users will have to wait in anticipation for the results to be displayed)
- Parameter 6: expectedPolicyChecksum (i.e., the output of: openssl dgst -sha256 "${targetPolicy}" | awk -F'= ' '{print $2}' )
