Symantec Whole Disk Encryption - Configuring Bypass for Linux

  • 1.  Symantec Whole Disk Encryption - Configuring Bypass for Linux

    Posted Oct 04, 2015 09:23 PM

    Hello,

    I would like to use the bypass functionality for Linux Whole Disk Encryption.

    As root I am attempting to run: # pgpwde --add-bypass -p=[password]

    I am getting an error stating: -bash: !@#$%: event not found

    Where "!@#$%" is the last five characters of the password.

    I have tried putting the password in quotes as it is a STRING but that has not helped. Same error.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers

    Try the following:
    pgpwde --add-bypass --disk 0 --count 1 --passphrase "YourPassphrase"

    If you don't want to display the passphrase, you can do --interactive instead of --passphrase.  Let me know if the command works in that format.
