Description
Auto update capabilities are needed for the Mac platform from 7u6. This is a place holder CR for that effort. More information will be added to this CR as work progresses.
I have verified this functionality in the past, with b10, which satisifies this RFE. However, there is an outstanding defect CR in b12 related to this. CR 7172893 and CR 7172885
