Is Athena EPP 6.0.4EN officially compatible with RHEL 9.8?

MShakeel Lv1  Posted 2026-Oct-05 14:28

Hi Sangfor Community,

I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.8 server, but I am unable to install the Athena EPP 6.0.4EN agent on this server.

Could anyone please confirm:

Is Athena EPP 6.0.4EN officially compatible with RHEL 9.8?

If not, which Athena EPP Agent version supports RHEL 9.8?

Is there any updated Linux agent/package available for RHEL 9.8?

Are there any specific kernel, dependency, SELinux, or Secure Boot requirements for installation?

What is the recommended solution if Athena EPP 6.0.4EN cannot be installed on RHEL 9.8?

Server OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.8
Athena EPP Agent: 6.0.4EN

Any guidance or official compatibility information would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Do not spend too much time trying to force the 6.0.4EN agent onto RHEL 9.8. Instead:

Obtain the latest Athena EPP Linux agent available for your EPP Manager.
Confirm from Sangfor that the agent explicitly supports RHEL 9.8 / its exact kernel.
Check whether your EPP Manager itself must be upgraded before the newer Linux agent can be deployed.
If Secure Boot is enabled, ask Sangfor to confirm whether the particular Linux agent/kernel module supports your Secure Boot configuration.
Check SELinux status and audit logs if the newer supported agent still fails.

Check the exact kernel:

cat /etc/redhat-release
uname -r
getenforce
mokutil --sb-state
Also check the installer output rather than assuming it is a dependency problem.

HiHi,  

According to the official Sangfor Athena EPP 6.0.4R4 Compatibility List, this operating system is partially supported. Please contact TAC for the agent installation method. Note that advanced threat-related features are not supported on this operating system.

Please find the screenshot below for quick reference. The Athena EPP 6.0.4R4 Compatibility List is also attached, thanks.
