This seems like a pretty common request here, as I've found various topics on the subject during my search. However, none address my issue directly.
I need to deploy Endpoint security and control via startup script as explained here.
I've refered to this post titled "obfuscate the username and password" and have an obfuscated domain username and password. However I'm getting various Windows error code in the Sophos Auto Update log (1326 and 2201
I immediately remember) all indicative of a bad username or password. I have obfuscated the user name as <user@domain.com> (rather than domain\user)``
If I replace the user name and password with their actual AD criteria, updating works correctly. So I know my syntax is correct.
The command I'm using is <PATH>\Setup.exe -updp "<PATH>\SAVSCFXP" -user <user> -pwd <pass> -mng yes
I'm not entirely familar with obfuscation works. I've run the command again the same user name a few times and find the output is different each time. Is there a database file that needs to be placed somewhere in the Softros installation directory or on the Endpoint server to reference the name\password combination I'm trying to use? (that seems to defeat the point entirely, if the combination is stored anywhere in plain text).
TIA folks
