Nah - just the process name as shown.

Re: Mac OS 10.5.6 and Host Checker

Still waiting to see if this works but I was just thinking that by moving the HC policy to the Mac tab rather than the Windows tab, wouldn't this mean a Windows user could use this realm as the HC in this realm is not configured to check anything in Windows?

Nope - the Windows PC will fail the host check. The categories are for setup selection.

Re: Mac OS 10.5.6 and Host Checker

Well just to clarify we are doing our host checking at the role level, not the realm level. In the Host Checker section I configured a HC Policy called MAC Check. The purpose of this is to ensure it is a user with a Mac OS trying to connect and a Windows user. What this policy does is checks for the existence of a process called launchd.

Then I duplicated some of our existing roles that these Mac users required and removed our standard HC policy (checks for antivirus) and added this Mac check policy, meaning only Mac users can access this role.

Then I created a new realm just for the Mac users eg. https://xyz.com/mac and created role mappings to these new 'Mac' roles I created. I created a hyperlink on the login screen of our main realm indicating if you are a Mac user then click here, to take them to the Mac realm.

This may not be the most efficient way of doing it but it seems to work for us. Hope this helps.
