ERA is failing to connect to licencing server


Recommended Posts

Hello to all.

I just finished installing my ERA Server. I deployed a virtual appliance on a Xenserver.

After the creation of the VA has finished I entered the web console and completed the ERA server appliance parameters.

Didn't know where to start so I decided to first add a license in license management.

So, when I add the license key after a few seconds I get the message that it failed to add the license because it failed to connect to the licensing server.

I went to the VAs console and pinged with success the following: 

register.eset.com 91.228.165.81

register.eset.com 91.228.167.125

h1-weblb01-v.eset.com 91.228.165.79

h3-weblb01-v.eset.com 91.228.167.123

 

Should I have to check anything else?

 

Thank you in advance.

For start I would try to ping edf.eset.com to check whether network access is available. Also SERVER's trace log /var/log/eset/RemoteAdministrator/Server/trace.log may contain more detailed information why license synchronization fails (search for errors).

I cannot get a reply from edf.eset.com, not even from my desktop. It resolves its IP but I'm getting a time out error.

 

Regarding the log error, I found this.

It looks like communication error. Correct?

When I try to open the address in a web browser I get te following:

 

20101001Unsupported Content-type: unknown

 

 

I cannot open it of course through the ERA server because it's a virtual appliance.

When I open it in my web browser (firefox) it opens correctly. Just FYI.

 

 

<ecp:message><ecp:response><code>20101001</code><message>Unsupported Content-type: unknown</message></ecp:response></ecp:message>

 

Sounds like it does for you too.

Yes, it is communication/network error. SERVER is either not able to resolve hostname edf.eset.com to IP addresses or connection cannot be established. Any chance you have company firewall that could possibly block communication on standard HTTPS (443) port?

When I ping it resolves the IP. But I am not getting a reply:

 

[root@era ~]# ping edf.eset.com

PING edf-pcs.cloudapp.net (137.135.12.16) 56(84) bytes of data.

 

No the firewall doesn't block https.

From the coloring of ssh client and root user my guess is that you are using virtual appliance?

Did you install and configure apache proxy for clients?

Correct. As I said earlier I am using a virtual appliance installed on a XenServer environment. 

No I hadn't enabled Apache HTTP proxy on ERA VA but I did after your post!

So the problem of not connecting to the licensing server has to do with Apache config?

 

Should not be the case. Client's and ERA should connect directly to ESET servers, my guess is that you have proxy setting configured in policy.

In ERA server you mean? It is a fresh new installation...

True, not in new installation. Check this post https://forum.eset.com/topic/6230-activating-era-62-error/?hl=licensemodule

I don't think it applies on my case. It talks about firewall rules and Windows installation. I will try to update tomorrow XenServer to the latest version (6.5) and install XenTools to check that it hasn't anything to do with the installation or not.

This ESET machine is not replying to ping request, therefore this output - but IP seems t obe resolved correctly. In order to verify connection, you may also try this command:

openssl s_client -connect edf.eset.com:443

It will download remote peer SSL certificate and validate it. Validation should be OK as ve are using system certificate in ERA.

That is definitely not correct -> it should have output as provided by bbahes. Please re-run command with some different HTTPS-enabled site, for example www.google.com:443 to check whether SSL works correctly.
