Updating CID on Netware server using SEC4/SUM

I have used the standalone EMLibrary to update CIDs on Netware servers for years but EMLibrary won't download Sophos 9.5 so I have had to replace my EMLibrary installation with SEC4 (running on an XP workstation).

I can't persuade SUM to update the CID using the Novell credentials as specified in the technote here http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/12456.html. I note that this is the format the EMLibrary was using, only EMLibrary had a string builder that put it together.

I am using the string: .CN=Sweep1.OU=Staff.OU=Site1.O=CC|PINEWOOD|.CN=CCSRV1.OU=Site1.O=CC

Where Sweep1 is the account with the permissions to update the contents of that directory. I have tried it with and without the leading dots (CN and .CN).

Has anyone else managed to get it to work?

TIA

Hi,
Have you tried just entering the username as Sweep1 ?
What Novell client do you have installed?
What errors are shown in the sophos update manager logs?
It maybe worth logging a call with support if you need further assistance.
Cheers
Jon

Here is what seemed to work in my environment:
User.ou.o|TREE|server.ou.o
For your string it should be:
Sweep1.Staff.Site1.CC|PINEWOOD|.CCSRV1.Site1.CC
Now, I have updates being distributed to my Netware servers - I just need to figure out how to cause the desktop PC's to get the new updates...
