Problem
Symantec AntiVirus for Linux (also known as SAV for Linux or SAVFL) is unable to successfully update its definitions. How to configure the "liveupdate.conf" file to use a Proxy Server?
Error
Symptoms
Sep 2, 2009 7:19:54 AM Connecting to HTTP proxy 10.0.0.XXX:3128 ...
Sep 2, 2009 7:19:54 AM Connected to 10.0.0.XXX:3128 sending request ...
Cause
When using a Proxy Server in the environment, valid credentials need to be entered on the /etc/liveupdate.conf file of the SAVFL client
Solution
Configure proxy settings for Java LiveUpdate (JLU) by changing the following line in the /etc/liveupdate.conf file:
proxy=proxy.yourcompany.com:port
To use authentication, you can also edit the following proxyusername and proxypassword lines:
proxyusername=MyCompany_user_name
proxypassword=MyCompany_password
An example of this file including the proxy information:
hosts/0/url=http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com:80
hosts/1/url=http://liveupdate.symantec.com:80
workdir=/tmp
logfile=/opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/liveupdt.log
proxy=10.0.0.XXX:3128
proxyusername=MyCompany_user_name
proxypassword=MyCompany_password
