Endpoint Encryption

I am trying to register a passphrase user from the command-line using the following command

eeAdminCli.exe --register-user -u user -p P@ssw0rd --au Admin --ap Adm1nP@55

But it returns the error:

Validation of Windows user failed, win32err = 1326

Windows Credentials could not be validated

Operation register user failed:

Error code -11974: PGPClientError #-11974

I can succesfully register this same user using the SEE Client Administrator GUI, but I would like to automate this in a script.

I don't want it to use windows credentials, so I'm not sure why it is trying to validate the user as if it was a windows user.

Has anyone been able to succesfully register a passphrase user using eeAdminCli.exe? What am I missing?

Thanks,

From what I can see, you've not specified this user as *not* being a Windows user, and it appears to have defaulted to that.  Try adding in the "--user-type" switches into your command.

For example (using your demonstration script above), the below will create an account in the PGP PBE with a username of "user" that does not exist in Windows, but can authenticate past PBE with the password of "P@ssw0rd":

eeAdminCli.exe --register-user -u user -p P@ssw0rd --user-type p --au Admin --ap Adm1nP@55

See pg 52 of the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Drive Encryption 11.1.0 Administrator Command Line Guide for reference.
