Example from Lux.log (/opt/Symantec/sdcssagent/AMD/sef/Logs/lux.log)

Cause

The Liveupdate Policy for the Linux Client is missing the complete URL path (/luproxy) to the SEPM Reverse Proxy.  If /luproxy is missing from the path, it will be evident in the lux.log as the path will be blank.

Environment

Release: 14.3.x

Resolution

Update your LiveUpdate policy for Mac and Linux clients for your desired groups.

1. Within Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, click Policies > LiveUpdate.
2. On the LiveUpdate Settings tab, double-click the LiveUpdate Settings policy that applies to your desired groups.
3. Select Server Settings under Linux Settings
4. Select Use a specified internal LiveUpdate server and click Add
5. Specify the name "SEPM HTTP LU Proxy," with the corresponding URL: "http://ServerIP:8014/luproxy" or "http://ServerName:8014/luproxy"

 

Note: 

• Where ServerIP or ServerName represents the IP number or name of the server that hosts Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
• If the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Apache web server uses a different port that 8014, replace 8014 with your actual port number in the above URL.
