Known Limitations
Show / Hide this section| Issue ID | Description |
| EPS-23363 | On macOS 10.15 Catalina, Full Disk Access has to be approved for several blades to work properly, including Media Encryption, VPN, Threat Emulation, Anti-Ransomware and Forensics. macOS does not provide any notifications about this automatically, so Endpoint Security presents a UserCheck message, as a guide for which application to grant FDA access, and a button to open the System Preferences. |
| AHTP-15580 | Post-upgrade from the E80.89 release, there are no historic AR/TE events shown in the UI. |
| AHTP-15310 | If nodeJS is installed on the Mac, build directories should be excluded in SBA policy (AR/EFR and TE) to improve performance. |
| EPS-23361 | If the default name of the compliance rule for checking if assigned blades are running is changed, i.e. cloned or edited, this rule will not be applied to the macOS compliance blade. Then, on the server side there will be no compliance reporting (inform, warn, restrict). Client will also not go into the assumed compliance state. |
| ESVPN-1920 | In some rare cases during the upgrade of VPN client from previous version, user may experience temporary inability to connect to VPN site. Delay may be from seconds to several minutes. To address this issue user should perform reboot of operating system. |
| EPS-26022 | Media Encryption blade: Media scan - not supported. |

| Installation |
In macOS 10.13 and later, the gatekeeper requests consent from the end user before allowing to load a third party kernel extension for the first time. |
In macOS 10.13 and later, the gatekeeper warns when installing quarantined software: 'Endpoint Security installer can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.” |
In macOS 10.15 and later, the gatekeeper blocks the very first launch of third party executables that require access to user's files and folders. |
In macOS 10.15.4 and later, the gatekeeper regularly informs the end user about running 'legacy third party kernel extensions'. |
