To verify use the command 'systemextensionsctl list' that shows the state as 'uninstalling' No User Impact (Pulse reinstall will not have impact) Known Issue 5: Pulse system extension remains on systemextensionsctl list even after uninstall and immediate reboot User approval of System Extensions (part of PDC starting in Catalina) is required as per macOS design The user will see a first prompt to allow 'Pulse Secure' application load, and a second prompt to approve 'Network Filtering'. User prompts need to be accepted to activate PDC system extension (Firewall) component Known Issue 4: New System Extension install flow requires explicit end-user approvals Therefore, we have replaced Kernel Extension with System Extension from PDC 9.1R9 onwards. The PDC's Kernel Extension is prevented from loading and Lockdown/Traffic Enforcement will not work properly.Īpple has deprecated Kernel Extension from Big Sur and therefore it doesn't load Kext. If PDC <9.1R8.2 is installed and the user upgrades macOS to Big Sur, the following message is shown: Operation of Traffic Enforcement and Lockdown Mode is affected

Network Traffic types other than TCP/UDP Protocol, Unicast Local Address and Unicast Remote Address will not be blocked in Lockdown Mode / TE (Traffic Enforcement) as those rules cannot be applied.Įnd Users will be able to access Network resources other than TCP/UDP Protocol, Unicast Local Address and Unicast Remote Address in Lockdown mode / TE (Traffic Enforcement)

Known Issue 2: When Lockdown Mode / TE (Traffic Enforcement) is configured, traffic other than TCP/UDP Protocol, Unicast Local Address and Unicast Remote Address will not be blocked (e.g. Manually install PSSetupClientInstaller.dmg if PDC (mac) 9.1R9 needs to be distributed via PCS versions prior to 9.1R8.2 (Check in the attachment section).
