Environment

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.x

Problem 1

When you access the Software Manager in ePO, the console displays the following error message:

ERROR: The Product Catalog has not been downloaded yet

Problem 2

When you run the default Download Software Product List server task, the server task log reports the following failure:

ERROR: Failed to download file C:\Progra~1\McAfee\EPOLIC~1\DB\licensed_products_list.xml.tmp. There was a connection error: Issue with the certificate (12175)

Cause

The certificate that the Software Manager site uses has been changed.

Normally this process is transparent to users because the new certificate is automatically downloaded and installed through Microsoft's Automatic Root Certificate Update system. For details, see the "How Windows Updates Root Certificates" section in the following Microsoft support document at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125.

The certificate is not downloaded and installed when either:

The process fails
Or
Automatic root certificate updating is disabled

Solution

To resolve this issue, manually install the certificate in the computer account on the ePO server.
