Endpoint Protection

Hi

Does anyone know if this is still valid, are there any alternatives?

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH123038.html

This throws an error, even when i point it at the correct version of java.

I am trying to setup a proxy to stop outbound access to the liveupdate services by pointing a couple of linux servers at our AV server.

Regards,

Adam

that article is dated April 28th, 2016. Have you check the Java version and is it working ? 

Yes the article still works:
www.symantec.com/docs/TECH123038

In your case what is the error message?

By default, JRE comes with the strong cryptography version of JCE, but LiveUpdate requires the unlimited version. Make sure your system is now using the correct JRE.

For example:
   # java -version
   java version 1.8.0_91
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15)
   Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.91-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Did you Download and replace right version of Unlimited Strength Cryptography (JCE) files? If not download it from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html (based on Java version)

Extract contents and copy to /lib/security.
# unzip jce_policy-8.zip
# cd UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK8
# cp local_policy.jar US_export_policy.jar /usr/java/jre1.8.0_91/lib/security

Finally try this:
# /usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/bin/java -cp /opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/jlu.jar com.symantec.liveupdate.config.editor.ConfEditor

It should work. If this is not working, please provide the error message.

Cheers !!!
