Yet Apple's changes in the Mac's OS X operating system and a crystallization of recent management and security features are spurring a Mac surge in an unlikely market: the enterprise.

The Mac OS installation package comes in two forms: a DMG package and a .tgz file:

• If you require two installations in different locations on the same host, use the .tgz file. The DMG can only install Splunk Enterprise into the /Applications/Splunk path.

Graphical installation

2. Double-click the DMG file.
   A Finder window that contains the splunk.pkg opens.
3. Double-click the Install Splunk icon to start the installer.
4. The Introduction panel lists version and copyright information. Click Continue.
5. The License panel lists shows the software license agreement. Click Continue.
6. You will be asked to agree to the terms of the software license agreement. Click Agree.
7. In the Installation Type panel, click Install. This installs Splunk Enterprise in the default directory /Applications/Splunk.
8. You are prompted to type the password that you use to login to your computer.
9. When the installation finishes, a popup informs you that an initialization must be performed. Click OK.
10. A terminal window appears and you are prompted to specify a userid and password to use with Splunk Enterprise.

    The password must be at least 8 characters in length. The cursor will not advance as you type.

12. Close the Install Splunk window.

    The installer places a shortcut on the Desktop so that you can launch Splunk Enterprise from your Desktop any time.

tar file install

Use the .tgz file to perform a manual installation of Splunk Enterprise. When you install Splunk Enterprise with the .tgz file:

• The service account is not created. If you want it to run Splunk Enterprise services with a specific user, you must create the user before starting the services.
• The default installation directory is the current working directory when you untar the .tgz file. The tar extraction will place all files in a <working_directory>/Splunk folder.

To install Splunk Enterprise on Mac OS X:

1. Place the <splunk_package_name.tgz> file into a folder.
2. From the terminal, expand the tar file into the local directory using the tar command:
   
3. Change directory to Splunk/bin and start the services.

Apple products require access to the Internet hosts in this article for a variety of services. Here's how your devices connect to hosts and work with proxies:

• Network connections to the hosts below are initiated by the device, not by hosts operated by Apple.
• Apple services will fail any connection that uses HTTPS Interception (SSL Inspection). If the HTTPS traffic traverses a web proxy, disable HTTPS Interception for the hosts listed in this article.

Make sure your Apple devices can access the hosts listed below.

Apple Push Notifications

Learn how to troubleshoot connecting to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). For devices that send all traffic through an HTTP proxy, you can configure the proxy either manually on the device or with a configuration profile. Beginning with macOS 10.15.5, devices can connect to APNs when configured to use the HTTP proxy with a proxy auto-config (PAC) file.

Device setup

Access to the following hosts might be required when setting up your device, or when installing, updating or restoring the operating system.

Device Management

Network access to the following hosts might be required for devices enrolled in Mobile Device Management (MDM):

Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager

Network access to the following hosts as well as the hosts in the App Store section is required for full functionality of Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager.

Software updates

Make sure you can access the following ports for updating macOS, apps from the Mac App Store, and for using content caching.

macOS, iOS, and tvOS

Network access to the following hostnames are required for installing, restoring, and updating macOS, iOS, and tvOS:

Oil Enterprise Mac Os Download

App Store

Access to the following hosts might be required for updating apps:

Microsoft Enterprise Os

Content caching

Access to the following host is required for a Mac that uses macOS content caching:

Apple Developer

Access to the following hosts is required for app notarization and app validation.

App notarization

Starting with macOS 10.14.5, software is checked for notarization before it will run. In order for this check to succeed, a Mac must be able to access the same hosts listed in the Ensure Your Build Server Has Network Access section of Customizing the Notarization Workflow:

App validation

Feedback Assistant

Feedback Assistant is an app used by developers and members of the beta software programs to report feedback to Apple. It uses the following hosts:

Apple diagnostics

Apple devices may access the following host in order to perform diagnostics used to detect a possible hardware issue:

Domain Name System resolution

In order to use encrypted Domain Name System (DNS) resolution in iOS 14, tvOS 14, and macOS Big Sur, the following host will be contacted:

Certificate validation

Apple devices must be able to connect to the following hosts to validate digital certificates used by the hosts listed above:

Firewalls

Oil Enterprise Mac Os X

If your firewall supports using hostnames, you may be able to use most Apple services above by allowing outbound connections to *.apple.com. If your firewall can only be configured with IP addresses, allow outbound connections to 17.0.0.0/8. The entire 17.0.0.0/8 address block is assigned to Apple.

HTTP proxy

You can use Apple services through a proxy if you disable packet inspection and authentication for traffic to and from the listed hosts. Exceptions to this are noted above. Attempts to perform content inspection on encrypted communications between Apple devices and services will result in a dropped connection to preserve platform security and user privacy.
