Update: distributing ERB Secure Browser on Mojave


Mojave introduces some security enhancements that mess up the distribution of the ERB secure browser (the "App"). 


First, thanks to Mosyle for figuring this out.  Mosyle is a very cost-effective but powerful MDM. 

Here's what they provided:


  • Use this script as a custom command to download and install the App:
#!/bin/bash
DOWNLOADURL='https://www.programworkshop.com/sbrowser/ws/GetSecureBrowser.aspx?programid=80&agentidentifier=MacOSXDSB&ipaddress=71.214.30.168&institutionid=&candidateid=&language=ENU&sc=abca88f08ef67be5648507dcfd191400a509c5d7'
NAME="/tmp/erbtestingapp.zip"
curl -s -o "$NAME" "$DOWNLOADURL"
ditto -x -k "$NAME" "/tmp/testingapp"
shopt -s dotglob
mv /tmp/testingapp/* /Applications/
rm -rf "$NAME"
rm -rf "/tmp/testingapp"


  • Adjust you App restrictions:
    • In Mosyle I use Restrictions > Apps and then allow by folders. 
    • If you use this method you must allow /private/var/
