On macOS (High Sierra) when I attempt to list the file at the path
/private/var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Store
I get the error "Operation not permitted
". Using sudo
doesn't better it and even employing the bypass
helper doesn't change anything:
sudo /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass ls -l /private/var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Store
gives "Operation not permitted
" as well. How can I list/access the file under the path /private/var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Store
?
Additional info:
An list of the the enclosing directory via ls -al /private/var/db/ConfigurationProfiles
displays:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 160 13 Apr 2018 .
drwxr-xr-x 85 root wheel 2720 28 Sep 06:27 ..
drwxr-xr-x@ 4 root wheel 128 16 Dec 2017 Settings
drwx------ 3 root wheel 96 1 Oct 21:56 Setup
ls: Store: Operation not permitted
Consistently, but rather strangely Store
cannot be listed. This happens both when executing ls
as current user and via sudo
.
Most probable reason is the system integrity protection (SIP) - csrutil
is the command line utility. You need to disable it to view the directory.
csrutil status
csrutil disable
(then you will probably need to reboot).
csrutil enable
