Creating a Zscaler Package

Zscaler

I normally use the Packages software to create a PKG file. The PKG can be used with the CMAppUtil tool to create a CMMAC file---then I import the CMMAC into SCCM. This gives me the ability to automate the installation of Zscaler using a specific policy configuration.

--strictEnforcement 1 --useDomain YourDomain.com' -target CurrentUserHomeDirectory -verbose > /Users/Shared/zscaler/log.txt

Step 3

In Packages, copy the script.sh to Scripts > Post-installation option.

Step 4

Personally owned devices are also required to authenticate to the ZScaler Content Filter, to gain access to the Internet. Users will be required to download and install the ZScaler root security certificate. This certificate is installed so that your Internet traffic can be securely transmitted. No data is collected from your computer, and no software or off-site monitoring capabilities are ever installed on personally-owned devices.

Before you install the certificate, you will need to download it to your computer. If you are using a Windows or Mac computer, save the file to your Desktop so that you'll be able to locate it later. Please refer to the installation instructions below, depending on your OS platform.
