Scan Engine 5.2.10 and onward uses its own liveupdate.conf separate from the JLU's. liveupdate.conf will be encrypted only if the file is JLU's.
SSE5.2.8 and earlier's liveupdate.conf
hosts/0/login:ENC=<encrypted strings>
hosts/0/password:ENC=<encrypted strings>
SSE5.2.10 and later's liveupdate.conf
hosts/0/login=<plain text strings>
hosts/0/password=<plain text strings>
Workaround:
liveupdate.conf can be encrypted if manually executed with "-r" option.
- Log in the SSE/SPE host as root / Administrator and stop the service.
- Copy the contents from the FROM to TO if FROM contains only cacheMode, downloadChacneSize, maxPackageContentSize and maxPackageSize:
- UNIX (Solaris and Linux):
FROM /etc/liveupdate.conf
TO /opt/SYMCScan/bin/liveupadate.conf
- Windows (32-bit)
FROM C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\liveupdate.conf
TO C:\Program Files\Symantec\Scan Engine\liveupdate.conf
- Windows (64-bit)
FROM C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Java LiveUpdate\liveupdate.conf
TO C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Scan Engine\liveupdate.conf
Note: If you are going to use Symantec's public LiveUpdate servers, the following steps are not necessary.
- Add the following hosts/<number>/ lines which refer to your internal LiveUpdate server. Here the <number> should be identical:
hosts/<number>/url=ftp://<your internal FTP server's URL>
hosts/<number>/login:<your FTP user login id in plain text>
hosts/<number>/password:<your FTP server login password in plain text>
- As root / Administrator on the terminal / command prompt, execute the following command:
- UNIX (Solaris and Linux)
# java -classpath /opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/jlu.jar LiveUpdate -c /opt/SYMCScan/bin/liveupdate.conf -r
- Windows (both 32-bit)
> java -classpath C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Java LiveUpdate\jlu.jar LiveUpdate -c C:\Program Files\Symantec\Scan Engine\liveupdate.conf -r
- Windows (both 64-bit)
> java -classpath C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Java LiveUpdate\jlu.jar LiveUpdate -c C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Scan Engine\liveupdate.conf -r
- Open the resulting liveupdate.conf under the SSE/SPE install root and see if the login and the password line are both encrypted such as follows:
hosts/<number>/url=ftp://<your internal FTP server's URL>
hosts/2/login:ENC=<encrypted strings>
hosts/2/mode=passive
hosts/2/password:ENC=<encrypted strings>
- Start SSE / SPE service.
