Issue/Introduction

CAFagent daemon does not start causing communication failure, or you want to manually alter its proxy settings.

Environment

  • Symantec Endpoint Security Linux agent

Cause

Proxy settings are missing from CAFConfig.ini.

Resolution

  1. Stop the SES agent by running the /usr/lib/symantec/stop.sh command.
  2. Edit the /etc/caf/CAFConfig.ini file, proxy details should be present in there:
    [proxy-config]
    proxy-mode=MANUAL
    proxy-uri=http://proxyserverhostname:<proxy_port>
    proxy-username=                
    proxy-password=                
    proxy-CertAuthKeys=%PROXY_CERTAUTHKEYS%
    proxy-host=proxy
    proxy-port=<proxy_port>
    proxy-https-port=<proxy_port>
  3. Save the file and start the agent with the /usr/lib/symantec/start.sh script.
  4. Check connection status with the /usr/lib/symantec/status.sh script.
