    Enterprise Dashboard: Some Enterprise Dashboard administrators when they login see a blank page and an error "Failed to get early access programs youve joined"

    Some Enterprise administrators when they log into Central, they may see a blank page and an error "Failed to get early access programs you've joined"

    This could happen if a bookmark used is pointing to the wrong or old location. This happens when the invalid URL redirects back to Central Dashboard URL.

    To resolve this, change any Enterprise Dashboard bookmark urls to https://cloud.sophos.com/manage/enterprise/dashboard   (note it is also ok to use https://central.sophos.com/manage/enterprise/dashboard - both urls will go to the same page)

      Central, Enterprise, or Partner Dashboards: A Custom Role with just the Email Gateway permission is not able to view Central Users page

      Sophos Engineering is aware of an issue where an Administrator with a Custom Role that only has the Email Gateway application/role applied to it, will not be able to view the Central People/Users page. The page will just show a spinning circle indefinitely.

      Until this issue is resolved, the Custom Role will need to be temporarily updated with an additional product that will provide the correct permission for the Users page. (such as Central Mobile, Central Endpoint, or Central Server).

        Central Dashboard: Custom firewall reports are only able to be sent to local Central Administrators (not Partner or Enterprise administrators)

        Central Dashboard: Custom firewall reports are only able to be sent to local Central Administrators (not Partner or Enterprise administrators)

        If a Partner or Enterprise Administrator attempts to add non local administrators to firewall reports (Firewall Management > Report Generator > (add or edit any report) > Available Recipients section.

        If you add any Partner or Enterprise Dashboard administrators, these will not receive the report via email. Additionally, when you reopen the report, these administrator names added will show as UUIDs.

        There is no workaround to this issue

        There is no workaround to this issue. Currently only local administrators are able to be used for Firewall report delivery at the Central Dashboard level

        • CPG 2024.12
          Central Dashboard: Exporting Event reports as a PDF when using the Traditional Chinese language will fail.

          Sophos Engineering is aware of an issue that is causing an error for Central Dashboard Administrators who attempt to export a pdf report from Reports > Events, when using the Traditional Chinese language selection within Central Dashboard.

          There is no error in the UI, but an attempt to open the resulting PDF will fail with “Failed to load the PDF document” or related error.

          There are no errors when exporting the report as CSV or as a PDF in any other language.

          Until this issue is resolved an administrator will be able to export the report as a CSV, which can then be converted to a PDF via separate export/utility.

          CPLAT-52441
              Enterprise and Central Dashboards. The license usage shown on the License page can be inaccurate and confusing when there is more than one of the same license type listed.

              For Term or Master Licensed customers: On the Central License page, if there are 2 or more of the same license line items listed (for example, in the scenarios related to; trial and purchased licenses together, current and future renewal licenses together, or Enterprise Dashboard master licenses)

              The usage calculated between the licenses on this page may not be clear. Product usage may not be split evenly between the licenses (one license may show overage, while another will show underutilized), while others may show the usage duplicated between the two.

              This usage calculation distribution issue will not affect products' use/management or development. Note: Flex licenses will not be affected by this behavior as they will only have one line item per license possible.

              • CPG 2023.52
                Enterprise Dashboard: After a Master License renewal, the license usage count/calculations may be incorrect.

                The are currently a few known behaviors where the incorrect license total or usage will be shown within the Enterprise Dashboard following a license renewal for Enterprise Master License:

                • The License page (where you apply the licenses) may show the expired licenses after 30 days

                • The License page (where you apply the licenses) usage calculation may show a higher/ incorrect total usage

                  • This is similar to the Known issue we have documented further below CPLAT-52441 where this has been seen when there are duplicate license line items

                • The Sub-estates page (at the top/header row where the total license and total usage is calculated for all subestates in the environment) - Both the usage and the total license numbers displayed may show incorrect totals because of the calculation that is incorrectly including the expired license data.

                • The set Allocation page / pop up modal. The ‘Enterprise usage’ column number may also show the same incorrect/double usage.

                If there are questions or concerns about the usage for a subestate, this true total can be seen either by 1. On the Sub-estates section within the Enterprise Dashboard: Each sub-estate line item will show the correct usage reported back from . Or 2. The License section on the left hand side of the Enterprise Dashboard: select the all licenses tab. Each license listed will show the correct total. Or 3. The correct usage will be seen when viewing the License page within the Sub-estate itself

                  Enabling Enterprise Dashboard (EDB) when the 'Federation only' sign in option is configured will prevent the administrator from logging into EDB

                  Sophos Engineering is aware of an issue when a customer enables the Enterprise Dashboard (EDB) feature while their Central Dashboard (CDB) is configured to login with the Federation only option; this will prevent them from being able to log into the EDB afterwards.

                  In the interim of this being resolved - If this is encountered, please contact Sophos Technical Support and reference this Known Issue (https://sophos.atlassian.net/browse/CPLAT-52878#icft=CPLAT-52878), along with the email address you configured to enable EDB.

                    Central Dashboard Audit log - "anonymous failed authentication" entry is due to an expected API Service Principal JWT renewal error.

                    When using API credentials (Service Principals) - certain jwt token refresh errors can be logged in the Central Dashboards Audit log as 'anonymous:' and 'failed authentication' with the IP of source. (eg. siem.py script/ ADsync utility/ etc). This is an expected logging event that can occur during normal operation and it does not require any follow up action.

                    These entries can be ignored. See https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000043845 for more information.

                      Sophos Engineering is aware of a behavior where some customers may see three vertical scroll bars on the right hand side of the screen, when viewing a Central Device’s Summary page.

                      This behavior can be ignored in the interim of future fix.

                        Enterprise Dashboard (Master License): Unlinking a subestate may leave the original Master LicensesSub Estate shows Enterprise licenses in Central even after being Unlinked

                        There is a known issue that may be seen when an Enterprise Dashboard with Master Licensing unlinks a subestate, the original Enterprise Licenses that were assigned to it will not be removed.

                        Instead of the newly unlinked subestate having the 8 default trial licenses, it will show a combination of the original Enterprise licenses and the new trial licenses appended to it. A customer will not be able to apply a new Term license until this is resolved. To resolve this, please raise this to our Technical Support team for help to resolve this.

                        If this issue is experienced, please raise a Technical Support case with the following information: 1. Request to remove Enterprise licenses left behind following unlinking of a subestate (https://sophos.atlassian.net/browse/CPLAT-53911#icft=CPLAT-53911). 2. The UUID of the Enterprise Dashboard. 3. The UUID of the Central Dashboard. Thank you

                            Entra AD directory sync: It is not possible to both sync AD users with the userType attribute 'Guest', and also prevent those users from having an associated Central Email mailbox (if licensed for Central Email

                            When a customer has a Central Email license, any Entra Directory Sync user object that has an email address will have a mailbox created. A customer may want Guest users to be sync’d (for ZTNA) but not want them to have a mailbox created.

                            It is not possible to do this (prevent Guest userType from having a Central Email mailbox if they are sync’d into Central and are licensed for Central Email)

                            Administrators can configure their Sophos Central Entra Directory services sync to filter out/exclude syncing Guest users.

                            To prevent a Guest userType from creating a mailbox in this scenario, requires preventing them from being sync'd into your Central Dashboard. To do this, configure your Sophos Central Entra Directory services sync to filter out/exclude syncing Guest users.

                              Enterprise Dashboard: Updating the license allocation may take a few minutes to apply

                              When updating the license allocation for a subestate, the spinning wheel within the allocation window can be shown for up to 5 minutes before the green toast/pop up stating it was successful is shown. While this is expected behavior while the UI is waiting for the return confirmation, if the return/result shows an error, please raise up a Technical Support case for assistance.

                              This is expected behavior as long as the result is successful.

                                The Partner Dashboard ‘Sophos Customers’ page, may incorrectly show an empty Optix trial icon for one or more customers. The customers' dashboard does not have an Optix trial enabled.

                                In the interim of this being removed, the icon should be ignored.

                                  When adding new rules on the ‘Sophos sign-in settings’ page in the ‘Add Custom Rule’ - the UI does not automatically refresh after finishing adding new rule.

                                  The rule has been added, and can be seen if the page is refreshed, or if/when navigating away and back to this page.

                                    Partner Admin API response may not show the 'active' data value for some administrators.

                                    There is a known behavior seen when using the Partner get admin api query

                                    Some administrator records returned may not show the ‘Active’ data.

                                    The ‘Active’ entry refers to whether the Administrator in question has an active Partner administrator record. This is the same data shown within the Partner Portal ‘Manage Users’ section where you can see the column for ‘Active’ (or select the tick box to show non-active' administrators.

                                    This data point can be seen outside of the API by looking at the administrators record within the Partner Portal > Manage users.

                                          This is an expected behavior when the user/admin in question does not have any configured MFA settings. This can be due to the MFA reset option already having been selected, or this user/admin has not yet logged in for the first time to configure their login yet.

                                          The Central Admin user in question will already be prompted to set up their MFA when they next log into Central.

                                            If a flex licensed customer fails to unlink at the scheduled time at the end of the month, it will reset the next unlink date to be the next end of the month. The customer will continue to remain showing in the Partner Dashboard, and each month it will show the next month as its scheduled time to unlink.

                                                Central Dashboard Audit Logs: repeated "Access Denied" entries referencing 'alerts:read' and 'endpoint-state:read'

                                                Customers (Central Dashboard and Enterprise Dashboard), as well as Partners (Partner Dashboard) - could see excess amounts of Audit log entries that reference both 'alerts:read' and 'endpoint-state:read'.

                                                What are these audit log entries?

                                                Why do I see this in my Audit Log?

                                                • The RMM Sophos software plug-in is polling all of the Partner's Customers. This currently includes any of the Partners customers who are either not managed by the Partner or are currently Trial/Evaluation customers.

                                                • Our APIs handle the rejection of non-managed tenants by understanding the permissions embedded in the API token, and returning a 403 when the credential does not have permission for that tenant. This in turn results in an Audit log entry for access denied being logged in both the Central Dashboard (and the corresponding Partner and/Enterprise Dashboards)

                                                Can these entries be prevented?

                                                • If the entries are once every 20 to 30 minutes, this is currently expected until there are further improvements made within Sophos plugins.

                                                • If the polling happens once every 6 minutes, it is possible to have this reduced to every 20 minutes.

                                                  • The Partner is expected to be using an older version of RMM plugin software (Automate) that includes an update to reduce this.

                                                  • When the Partner updates this plugin, the polling will be reduced to average of once every 20 minutes.

                                                How can I tell if this is related or something different?

                                                • It will match this known issue when:

                                                  • Your Central Dashboard is not managed by your partner, or you currently have an evaluation/trial license.

                                                  • The IP address in the audit log entry will be the source of the script (linked to your Partner)

                                                  • The ‘ClientID’ # will be an API ID used by your Partner.

                                                      Partner Dashboard: Flex customer shows a trial icon on the Customers page under the 'Central Firewall Reporting Advanced' column

                                                      Currently if a partner removes the ‘Central Firewall Reporting Advanced’ license for a flex customer using the ‘Change License’ wizard; it will show an icon under the ‘Central Firewall Reporting Advanced’ column in the Partner Dashboards' Customers page.

                                                      The expected behavior is that no icon is shown.

                                                      The feature/function for Central Firewall Reporting Advanced is correctly removed from the customers Central Dashboard.

                                                      This can be ignored in the interim of it being removed in the future.

                                                          My Sophos API related integration stopped working and/or I cannot find the API credential used.

                                                          If the API credential previously used is no longer present within Settings > API Credentials Management; and there is nothing in the Audit log showing it was removed, then the credential has aged out.

                                                          Sophos Central API credentials have defined lifetimes during which they may be used to authenticate to Sophos APIs for data collection and alerting. By design, when an API credential expires it will no longer be allowed to authenticate to Sophos APIs. Creating new API credentials to replace the prior credentials will quickly resolve any access interruption from expired API credentials.


                                                          The creation, last used, and expiration dates for unexpired API credentials can be reviewed in Sophos Central's API Credentials Management page. Since expired API credentials are unusable any references to them are automatically removed from the Sophos Central console by design.

                                                                When a subestate is unlinked from an Enterprise Dashboard (EDB) it will be removed from EDB, but locally (under the Account Preferences section) - the top ‘Enterprise Management’ section will show it is part of the EDB it was unlinked from, with directions to contact the EDB administrator.

                                                                To resolve this in the interim of this being resolved, you will want to contact Sophos Customer Care Support team and request that a new ‘Customer’ account be applied to your Central account. This will fully remove the previous EDB connection and allow you to enable EDB in this Central Dashboard if needed.

This requires customers on-premise IDP server to be able to communicate with Auth0’s servers.

                                                                                              The feature to enable domain name override for reported users on macOS, detailed in this KB: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000036151 , requires that the user account type is Mobile.

                                                                                              By default, a direct Active Directory join uses this user type, however some other providers may not set it. Sophos’ detection of the user as a domain one requires the user account type to be mobile to trigger. There are no plans to change this behavior at this time.

                                                                                              If the provider allows it, set the user account type to Mobile. Apple has provided information here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh32157/mac

If a user enables this (paid subscription from Apple), we cannot provide web protection or control on the system for non-local traffic.

                                                                                                            On the subsequent startup of the Operating System, the Endpoint health state is still Red. This may lead to the Endpoint being isolated if the option 'Allow computers to isolate themselves on red health' is enabled in the Threat Protection policy.

                                                                                                            The Endpoint health changes to Green automatically after around two minutes, which also removes the Endpoint from isolation.

This may clash with Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools that are installed on the Endpoint to manage the elevation of rights, resulting in "PrivGuard" alerts being reported against the elevated processes.

                                                                                                                        In these situations, the "Prevent privilege escalation" feature is incompatible with the Privileged Access Management (PAM) software and should be disabled via the Threat Protection policy on impacted Endpoints.

                                                                                                                          The gold image switch is not working for VMware Horizon with ClonePrep environment.

                                                                                                                          The issue occurs here because when using “ClonePrep” the device is snapshotted and then spun up - a snapshot is then created from this new machine before it's snapshotted and cloned again.

                                                                                                                          As an example: The machine they use as the “GoldImage” GOLD-W10 is then renamed to W10-1 itself and then from W10-1 a new machine is created called W10-2 and this then repeats.

                                                                                                                          The workaround is to use the older style gold image prep script

                                                                                                                          The workaround is to use the gold image prep script during the shutdown.

                                                                                                                            This is caused by a conflict with Sysmon when SEDService.exe performs compression of Event Journal data and the subsequent deletion of the uncompressed *.bin Event Journal files. When .bin files are covered by a Sysmon FileDelete rule, Sysmon tries to rename/archive the Tamper Protected file and conflicts with Endpoint Defense Service, leaving the uncompressed file in place.

                                                                                                                            Removing .bin files from the TargetFilenames of the FileDelete rule resolves the issue. For details, please see KB-000044827

                                                                                                                                If a Microsoft Azure computer running Windows Server 2016 with a Mellanox network interface is started from the "Stopped (deallocated)" state, the Sophos Network Threat Protection service may get stuck in the start pending state. The service is pending a Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) call from the system which is not being returned when the system starts from a “Stopped (deallocated)” state, resulting in the issue.

                                                                                                                                This is an environmental/driver issue. No solution is available from Sophos Central Endpoint.

                                                                                                                                To prevent the issue on Windows Server 2016, avoid using the “Stopped (deallocated)” state when turning off the server. However, when the state has to be used, restart the server once again after it started from that state and is in the problematic state.

                                                                                                                                This issue only occurs on Windows Server 2016. In Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022, starting the server from the “Stopped (deallocated)” state correctly returns the WFP call to the Sophos Network Threat Protection service, which allows the service to start correctly.

Creating a web surfing report you can only get an output from the first 200 entries in the iview.

This means that there is a possibility that a Training reminder email is sent at 00:01 UTC on a Monday, which, depending on the timezone of the end-user, may be received during the day on a Sunday.

When a reported email does not exist in Central, a user is created which is expected behaviour.

But the enrollee should not see anything else, so they won't get suspicious when the new attack is sent.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The issue happens if the source and destination devices are connected to the same APX.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • For example, if there is a VoIP connection being established between Notebook 1 and Notebook 2 at APX 1, traffic flow is normal.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • When Notebook 2 roams away from APX 1 and associates with APX 2, the VoIP connection will be disrupted for about 15 seconds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • After 15 seconds have passed, the connection will work again.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Internet-bound connections and packets which need a next hop (XGS/XG) do not experience the same disruption in connectivity.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        1) The Sophos Connect Client has an active connection

The client will not automatically trigger a update policy request. The user has to manually trigger a "Update policy" request from the settings menu.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         This might happen with a greater probability if the allowed networks are changed in the policy. Also this will happen if a policy is changed from tunnel all to split network and the network list is not identical on both ends.

After reboot of the workstation or restart of the services related to Sophos Connect, an error message will pop up stating "Failed to validate server certificate" when trying to connect again.

But ONLY the SSL VPN policy will have the option of "Update policy" in the settings menu. In order to trigger a policy update for IPsec policy, the user will have to trigger the same via the SSL VPN policy.

Then it has to use a new OTP, but the OTP is generated by the Sophos Authenticator and the user has to enter the new OTP after the first one rotates. The client does not wait for that to happen. Instead, it uses the same OTP and that will fail and the user is prompted for authentication again. So the user has to enter the credentials again and they should be connected to VPN. This is a known issue. **

However, only one VPN can work if multiple VPN clients are installed on the system. Apple sets this limitation, and there's no workaround for it. So we can only use one VPN client at a time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The problem with OpenVPN and ZTNA happened because Apple devices use NECP. NECP helps stop VPNs from getting stuck in loops. Please take a look at A Peek Behind the NECP Curtain.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In simple terms, when both Modern Web and ZTNA are turned on/enabled, they make the system follow a rule called NECP. This rule tells the operating system to send all network traffic to the default or main interface.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This issue can be observed if there is an issue with the email content via the sender’s system.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        i) If the content is a UTF-16 HTML document that is base64 encoded. But the ‘charset’ field in the tag is saying ‘UTF-8’.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ii) As per standard (https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations#utf16 ), if using a UTF-16 HTML document, the document should begin with the UTF-16 BOM. If this is missing in the email content, it will create such an issue.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This needs to be fixed from the originating system.

The inbound email will be scanned and delivered to google. When email reaches the google group it will be forward to any external and internal email addresses. For the external email addresses that forward back to central as outbound email they will be block, because the sender of these emails is external.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Although Microsoft does not publicly share how it classifies email as junk, anecdotal evidence suggests that it learns from the recipient's actions. If customers' emails are repeatedly marked as junk by recipients in Microsoft-hosted email domains, then future customer emails might automatically be marked as junk.

This changes the content type of incoming emails to text/html and, if the control panel language is set to English, changes the character encoding to US-ASCII. If it's set to a different language, the character encoding used should match the selection.

We accept versions and ciphers earlier than TLS 1.2 because a significant number of customers haven't upgraded.

These ciphers use SHA1 on its own, or with MD5, and they're vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            When using Google Workspace as an email service provider, if an outbound email is sent with an alias from a different domain, it won't be relayed outbound. This is because when sending as an alias in Google Workspace the "envelope from" header is the primary account.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            For example domain1.com and domain2.com are both protected domains with valid mailboxes.

But the "data from" header is alias@domain2.com.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This email is rejected as the "envelope from" and "data from" headers don't match.

One of these changes is an upgrade to the RDP component to the latest version, which helps to improve overall security. However, this new component library does have a minor behavior difference: in versions 19 and later, the cursor is displayed as a cross instead of an arrow.

One of the changes we did was upgrading the RDP component to the latest version to improve the overall security posture. The clipboard functionality is not directly compatible with the latest RDP components making it non-supported with versions 19 and later.

The result of actions is transferred to individual buttons and stored in backend as separate status for each component. As it is only UI action button and not the summary of status all button - it is expected behaviour.

This is normally set to the IP addressed associated with ‘Port B’ which is the WAN Port.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For CM managed autoscaling instances, there’s no way to identify the original destination as each firewall will have it’s own IP address for the WAN port. This makes it impossible to setup DNAT for a CM managed instance. Even if someone creates a “Dynamic Interface”, it is not available during the “Public IP Address” step.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The "Server access assistant (DNAT)" cannot be used to configure DNAT but the manual method of creating a "New NAT rule" can still work. As the WAN Interface isn't available, you can create an IP range that will be translated to the private IP of the private Server. To setup DNAT:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1) If an encrypted split file was scanned, only the first part contains all information about the archive (includes also the encrypted flag)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  2) That's the reason why SAVAPI returns only by scanning the first part, that the file is encrypted. Because the engine/avpack can "unpack" the file, but a password is needed to extract it. So the archive was valid.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  3) If the following parts (except the last one) are scanned, then the encrypted flag is missing, that's the reason why SAVAPI returns clean for that part of multipart file.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  4) If the last part of the archive was scanned, then Archive is corrupt for SAVAPI, because the other parts are missing.

The unpacker will return, its not a archive.

After the enablement of HA service, Auxilary rebooted first as usual. But the Primary appliance goes in the rebooting phase because of the shared port which takes more time to wake up.

In case the number of bytes transferred exceeds the limit which can be accommodated in U32, then it shows the truncated value in the log viewer.

The tunnels are established fine, but there is an issue with the traffic. Say ping traffic from Windows1 is working for some seconds and then dropped and Windows2 will not see ping response while ping is working from Windows1 and vice-versa.

During the upgrade to 18.5 MR2 a certificate refresh has to be done as key has to be encrypted. And this certificate need to be made available to endpoints. If endpoints are unable to get the new certificate from Central, then heartbeat will start failing. This might happen when private DNS Servers are being used.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          To avoid this ensure that the endpoints have network connectivity during the upgrade. Also disable the checkbox “Block clients with no heartbeat" in the firewall rule in case endpoints need access to the internal DNS server to get updates (new certificate) from Central.

Also disable the checkbox "Block clients with no heartbeat" in the firewall rule in case internal DNS resolution fails.

However, if the Admin attempts to edit this exception the added wildcard entry will not be visible.

This resolves the issue.

The APP itself gets disconnected immediately but on the UTM the user is still live which actually means he can still access network resources which should be blocked.

The MAC address is blocked this would also include the DHCP traffic for affected client machines.

Now here, what happened is that Packet dropped by Firewall when it enters from the L2 stage. So traffic never submits to L3 (bridge interface) where the DHCP server is listening and DHCP will never get the packet. This issue will only for the client behind the bridge and will not happen for any other interface.

This because v18 Build_354 is doing additional checks for file system correction, which would take more time based on the hard disk size and state.

SFOS IMAP proxy doesn't scan headers for spam checking as headers are not enough information to detect spam. IMAP proxy scan Mail for spam when mail client download full Mail.

This is because Legacy Mode doesn't support retry of E-Mail. If E-Mail fails to send, Legacy Mode Proxy generates Notification and inform Sender.

Users can still interact with the app via other apps like Google Assistant or Android system functionality.

Starting with Android 8, the Android internal WebView app is disabled by default. As a result, apps in the work profile that rely on the WebView app might stop working.

As a result, the Sophos Mobile server can't send push notifications to these devices to synchronize the built-in MDM agent.

You can assign a policy with a different Email configuration to the device. The device always uses the latest Email configuration. However, you can’t remove the configuration from the work profile.

This issue is caused by the third-party app, which doesn’t notice the change and shows a cached version of the file.

In that case, you must update the Sophos Mobile Control app to version 6.1 before updating Sophos Secure Workspace. If you don’t, Sophos Secure Workspace resets the container password and asks you to set a new one the next time you start the app.

Whenever the RADIUS/TACACS+ server is down or not reachable, the fallback to the local authentication might fail intermittently.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              1. Login to the Switch CLI via SSH/TELNET or Serial Console.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              2. Once we get the CLI prompt, run the command "configure terminal" to get into switch configuration mode.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3. Now set the login authentication mode to Local by running the command "no login authentication"

Under these circumstances, the port status event is sent, but the uplink status moves to 0; after a few seconds, the uplink status changes in the local UI, but, at that time, no events are sent to the Central UI.

The count remains 50. However new alerts ( 51th ) will be displayed on the Central alerts/Dashboard page.

Those alerts are still visible on the Central Dashboard page.

In this case admin can view the latest alert from Central dashboard - Alert section and view the latest/all the unread alerts. This section will list alerts beyond hundred count.

Please note that during this time, do not interrupt the upgrade process. Kindly wait for 30-40 minutes before attempting a manual restart, and avoid interrupting the upgrade process. After the specified duration has passed, one can proceed with a manual reboot.

From Central, the access point will show as offline and wireless clients may be unable to connect on any band.

Current Network info does not get updated immediately in Cloud UI , so there could be entry of previously connected SSID instead of current one. It takes around 4 to 5 minutes for the proper information to be updated under clients page.

Ideally the client MAC entry should be present only in new roamed AP and entry in older AP should be removed when it roams to new AP.

Manual channel selection is highly recommended.

This is generally due to the way that traffic is received, scanned, and forwarded by the UTM’s web proxy and the need to ensure that resources consumed by a single connection does not impact resources available for other traffic on the network. It does not represent an overall limit on the bandwidth that can be handled by the firewall – under normal use conditions, the UTM handles multiple parallel connections from different endpoint devices which allows parallelization of processing and allows the full bandwidth of the network connection to be used.

This means Apache will reply with a 404 to every request containing encoded slashes. Setting the parameter to NoDecode is not an option since that setting is not compatible with mod_proxy since it would result in double encoding .

E.g. if you have a location configured for /something on example.com and you access example.com/something%2F..%2Fadmin, you can reach a location that might have no site path configured in WAF.

The limiting factor will be how much memory is available, which then depends on how many features are being used on the UTM.

This option does not apply to all ARP requests as it does not apply to the Ethernet targeted MAC address. All ARP requests will have Ethernet target MAC address as broadcast address. This option only applies to certain ARP requests, which have the ARP target address set to broadcast address. This is not the same as the Ethernet target MAC address.

This has resulted in the devices becoming unusable or ‘bricking’. There is a possible issue with bad block handling and the flash developing a more significant amount of bad blocks that is causing the issue .

After the alias ip has appeared on each Worker's node, change its attributes through Worker's UI.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3.

By default they start with 62001 and keep incrementing. If the code sees a rule with an ID above 63000 it labels it with "IPTables" and the word "alert".

In general, our recommendation is for customers the use the VMX driver instead.

Changing the TZ on UTM Web GUI does not force this TZ change in all current processes in the system. Hence all the logging from current running system will have old time.

Usually that is the remote gateway's IP address. In the respond only case (and also for remote access) that IP address is not configured, so there's little chance that pluto picks the right connection to start with. It is only the correct connection if it is the first one that matches in the linked list of connections. The order of the list changes as pluto moves entries that are used to the front, so lookups are faster for active connections. So, there's no way to guarantee one particular connection is preferred over another one.

If it picks one with a strict policy and the remote peer is not matching that policy, then the connection is declined because of strict. Later in the negotiation, when the certificates and thus the identity of the remote peer is known, pluto would switch to the correct connection. But the strict policy prevents that, stopping the negotiation before the identity is revealed.

This is because IPS needs to reload and blocks access to the system while its reloading. This only happens on low-end appliances.

It accepts the following three values: 'reload','restart','takeover'

After downloading the updates, the scan engine is reinitialized with new detection data. Sometimes the engine component itself is updated with a new version. While the update is happening, downloaded content or other requests that requires scanning can be delayed while the reload completes.

LSA updates(specifically LSA type 5)will cause the neighbour to log the topology related changes.

This is a known issue due to the manner in which Microsoft manages interface naming in Hyper-V and UTM default behavior.

This will also cause, that the IP of the User Network Object will not be set.

The new user may be granted the same browsing policy, and may be logged as if they are the previous user. This can occur for up to five minutes, until the UTM refreshes its cache.

The proxy log '/var/log/http.log' shows the message "removing cache, too many local copies" and '/var/storage/cores' potentially contains one or more core dumps per minute.

As endpoint web control filters HTTP requests, it is possible that a user will not be in the authentication cache and policy will fall back to policy based on the IP address. This can, for instance, block a site that the user is approved to visit.

That means it's not possible to set/update the AAAA-record only, it always also updates the A-record (to a possibly undesired value).

That means trying to set an IPv6-address for an A-record converts the record type to AAAA and the A-record is lost. To workaround that, customers now can specify the corresponding FreeDNS Update-URL in the 'hostname' field in WebAdmin. For A & AAAA to work for the same hostname, two FreeDNS services, one A-only and one AAAA-only need to be created using the corresponding Update-URL as hostname.

The matching of cookie to paths in browsers seems to be implemented very inconsistently regarding escaping of special characters. In some cases authentication will fail because the cookie is not sent by the browser. E.g. when using Firefox and paths containing the single quote character '

Even if the file as a whole is a detectable virus, the file segments - now each a file by themselves - could be clean in regards to AV scanning. This is a general problem for AV scanning, not specific for the WAF and cannot be solved the WAF either.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  2) The file to be uploaded is wrapped in additional data which is used by the web page framework to carry meta data. From a WAF point of view, all of it is payload since every byte - no matter whether actual payload or meta data as seen by the web page framework - could be part of a virus. Hence, the whole stream is passed to AV scanning which then fails to extract the (potential) virus from the stream. Again, this is a general AV scanning problem which cannot be solved by the WAF.

For example, if you go to hotmail.com and that page loads content from mail.live.com, you should not get another warning.

When you go to gmx.de, it's categorized as 'Web Mail' but redirects you to gmx.net, which is 'Internet Services. Once you have logged in, it then tries to load email content from 3c.gmx.net which is again categorized as 'Web Mail'. For some reason, there is no 'referer' header for, the UTM treat them as a new domain and try to return a warning. But because the request is for a background connection/API lookup and not a web page, the warn page never gets displayed.

One memory module was moved to the other CPU (slot change). This results in the hardware detection seeing the "new" SG550/650 differently. This was changed in the 9.4 installer, but not in 9.3x.

(note the '.') denote the same host. The UTM does not regard these as being equal. It is therefore possible to configure two different hosts, which resolve to the same hostname. This is an invalid BIND configuarion and will prevent BIND from starting.

However, only one VPN can work if multiple VPN clients are installed on the system. Apple sets this limitation, and there's no workaround for it. So we can only use one VPN client at a time.

NECP helps stop VPNs from getting stuck in loops. Please take a look at A Peek Behind the NECP Curtain.

This rule tells the operating system to send all network traffic to the default or main interface.

If the user accesses the user portal of gateway 1 by entering the gateway’s external FQDN, they would be able to see only application 1 or any other applications that are configured via eu-central-1.

Hence userportal access cannot be accessed. This is applicable only when the gateway platform type is a Firewall.

TFTP is a UDP-based protocol. Servers listen on port 69 for the initial client-to-server packet to establish the TFTP session, then use a port above 1023 for all further packets during that session. Clients use ports above 1023.
