To create an Inventory list, perform the following:

  1. Find for a machine with all the applications used in the environment.
  2. Download the Hash Generation Tool.
  3. Select the tool based on System Architecture (x86 or x64).
  4. Run the tool with the following commands:
    • To perform an inventory scan of the entire machine:

      TMiACHashGen.exe

    • To perform an inventory scan of a specific path:

      TMiACHashGen.exe – d <directory to be scanned>

      For example:

      TMiACHashGen.exe – d C:\Program Files

  5. Once scanning is completed, a CSV file should be available in the same path the tool is ran.
  6. Place the CSV file in a compressed ZIP folder.

To create an allow or block rule for the applications via the generated hash values, perform the following:

  1. Log in to the Apex Central console.
  2. Go to Policies > Policy Resources > Application Control Criteria.
  3. Click Add Criteria (Select either Allow or Block).
  4. Change match method to Hash Values and on the Input Method, select Import.
  5. Click Select Files and choose the created ZIP folder earlier.
