Using Credtool and wspcfg.ini to allow McAfeeInstantUpd... - 14.Nov.2003 3:38:00 AM

Here goes:

I am trying to get the update program for Viruscan Professional Edition 7.02.6000.

The update engine is called RuLaunch.exe.

So far, I post a question about it on the forums and someone recommended using credtool.

I have done the following:

Created a new user in the active dir called: virususer

Virususer has been given full permissions to access the internet.

Then on the PC that has the virusscan software, I have created a file called wspcfg.ini.

Contents of wspcfg.ini are as follows:

[RuLaunch.exe]
ServerBindTcpPorts=80
LocalBindTcpPorts=80
RemoteBindTcpPorts=80
KillOldSession=1
ForceCredentials=1

I have placed (as instructed) the wspcfg.ini file into the applications folder:

C:\Program Files\McAfee\McAfee Shared Components\Instant Updater

Now using credtool on the pc I did the following:

credtool -w -n RuLaunch -c virususer domainnamehere passwordhere

Then rebooted.

I ran the updater and nothing..zip!

I checked the logs and the updater did not have the credentials as made using credtool.exe.

The update engine is shown as anonymous and the application is shown as McAfeeInstantUpdater/1.0

* Could it be that the wspcfg.ini should specify this name instead?

The request made by anonymous was:

GET

http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/central/english/patches/CTL251AU.ini

The result was:

- 12209

This is becoming a complicated process...does anyone have an understanding of how to get applications through as authenticate individual users???

Many thanks in advanced and if you managed to read all this.

This is HTTP request!

First, check FirewallLog to find out is APPLICATION makes authorisation. Look for record
like
10.0.0.11 User wins.exe:3:5.0 Y 14.11.2003 01:01:19 fwsrv ST2 - - 194.xxx.xxx.xx 42 10 109 93 42 TCP Connect - - - 20000 0 pr WINS scr WINS replication 115 2405
If found, than make follow.

Second, read the tutorial about HTTP redirection filter "Mystery" on that site.

Make a destination set with the following and allow direct access to it. This is in case you are blocking application/octet-stream

download.mcafee.com
bin.mcafee.com

Your HTTP redirector should be set to send all HTTP traffic to Web Proxy.
