Installing Client Management

• Automatic configuration with default settings (Tanium Core Platform 7.4.2 or later only): Client Management is installed with any required dependencies and other selected products. After installation, the Tanium Server automatically configures the recommended default settings. This option is the best practice for most deployments. For more information about the automatic configuration for Client Management, see Import Client Management with default settings.
• Manual configuration with custom settings: After installing Client Management, you must manually configure required settings. Select this option only if Client Management requires settings that differ from the recommended default settings. For more information, see Import Client Management with custom settings.

Before you begin

• Read the release notes.
• Review the Client Management requirements.
• If you have Tanium Connect 4.10 or earlier installed, you must first either uninstall Connect or upgrade to Connect 4.11 or later. For more information, see Tanium Connect User Guide: Uninstall Connect or Tanium Connect User Guide: Upgrade Connect.
• Assign the correct roles to users for Client Management. Review the User role requirements.
  • To import the Client Management solution, you must be assigned the Administrator reserved role.

Import Client Management with default settings

When you import Reputation with automatic configuration, the Reputation service account is set to the account that you used to import the module.

Configuring a unique service account for each Tanium solution is an extra security measure to consider in consultation with the security team of your organization. See Configure service account.

No default settings are configured for Reputation.

To import Client Management and configure default settings, see Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Client Management version.

Import Client Management with custom settings

To import Client Management without automatically configuring default settings, be sure to deselect the Apply All Tanium recommended configurations check box while performing the steps in Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Client Management version.

To configure the service account, see Configure service account.

To configure settings, see Configure Reputation service settings.

Manage solution dependencies

When you start the Client Management workbench for the first time, the Tanium Server checks whether all the Tanium modules and shared services (solutions) that are required for Client Management are installed at the required versions. The Client Management workbench cannot load unless all required dependencies are installed. If you selected Tanium Recommended Installation when you imported Client Management, the Tanium Server automatically imported all your licensed solutions at the same time. Otherwise, if you manually imported Client Management and did not import all its dependencies, Tanium Console displays a banner that lists the dependencies and the required versions. See Solution dependencies.

1. Install the dependencies as described in Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions.
2. From the Main menu, go to Shared Services > Client Management to open the Client Management Overview page and verify that the Console no longer displays a banner to list missing dependencies.

Upgrade Client Management

For the steps to upgrade Client Management, see Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions. After the upgrade, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Client Management version.
