Endpoint Protection

Hi,

can anyone share some sample of what is the username format to type in the Proxy user account for LUA server ?

in my SEPM i put DOMAIN\Service-LiveUpdate and untick the use AD authentication it works.

but in LUA server I'm confused.

 In Source Server and Distribution center configurations, application is supporting proxies with Basic and NTLM authentication. For configuring NTLM proxies in LiveUpdate Administrator, the user needs to specify Domain to which proxy is connected. There is no separate input field for entering domain name. User should enter proxy user name as "<domain_name>\<user_name>", which is domain_name followed by "\" and then user name.

Hi Dushan,

You can use Proxy user account below formate

"<domain_name>\<user_name>"

Yes, but it end up with doman\\username ?

HI Dushan,

Check this artical.

How to Configure the Proxy settings in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) 12.1

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-configure-proxy-settings-symantec-endpoint-protection-manager-sepm-121

domain\username will work.

On LuAdmin, I use domain/user (not domain\user)

Hope this helps!  For the benefit of future admins with the same question, please do not forget to mark this thread "solved" (it is still currently "needs solution.")

It sounds like you are concerned about the way the username is displayed in the console.

As you can see from the screenshot below, ours also shows the double \\ , yet we have no problems with updates. Additionally, when you edit the config, the <domain>\<username> is displayed correctly.

I think you just noticed a display error (most likely because Symantec somewhere had to escape the backslash character for the system to interpret it correctly). Nothing to worry about.

I'm reading about 'LUA Server' for the very first time so I don't know much about it. So, I'm pleased to get a review of it and its application. Thanks for the update. http://www.bestwebhostingmy.com/
