Using OpenJDK with Symantec Endpoint Protection for Linux

Haven't got the chance to update since the release of SEPFL 12.1.5. Running into problem where requirement for Oracle Java. In additional you will also require to install JCE in order for it to work.

There is a workaround on using OpenJDK available from the YUM depository. Below are the following packages required:

  • java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.79-2.5.5.3.el6_6.x86_64
  • java-1.7.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.7.0.71-2.5.3.1.el6.noarch
  • java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.79-2.5.5.3.el6_6.x86_64

 You will need to modify the install.sh on the following line after installing the above packages. Change line 282 to return 0 instead of 1.

After which you can run the install again.
