The Product Catalog has not been downloaded yet (when accessing the ePolicy Orchestrator Software Catalog)

Environment

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.x

Problem

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

When you run the default Download Software Product List server task, the server task log entry reports a failure and the drill-down for the task log entry records the following error:

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 used by the Software Manager site has been changed.

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

If the process fails, or automatic root certificate updating is disabled, the certificate is not downloaded and installed.

Solution

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

Prerequisite:
Download the AddTrustExternalCARoot certificate from the following location, and save it to a temporary location:

  11. Click Next.
