    PSA Ticketing integration: Some Firewall alerts are not including any alert details in Connectwise

    An issue has been seen with the Sophos Partner PSA ticketing integration - Firewall specific alerts auto created in Connectwise do not contain the details of that alert in the ticket.

    The original alert in Partner and Customer Dashboard will have all of the details.

    In the interim of this being resolved, the details of the Alert can be obtained from the original alert within the Partner or Customers Central dashboard.

      Partner Dashboard: Edit virtual firewall modal: Selecting the 'create new managed customer' link redirects to the login screen

      Sophos Engineering is aware of an issue when a Partner selects the ‘Create new managed customer’ within the ‘Edit Firewall’ modal. Instead of being directed to the create customer screen, you are redirected to the login screen. Selecting the back browser button will display the correct create customer screen.

      Partners can select the browsers back button, which will display the Create Customer page/form.

        ConnectWise/ Autotask - PSA Ticket - Device Details Link is not redirecting to Device summary page

        The device link in the PSA Ticket is not redirecting to the Device Summary page if the partner is already logged out.
        After logging in, it should redirect automatically, but that not happening.
        If the partner is already logged in, the link takes to the device summary page.

            Partner Dashboard: the "Delete Scheduled Unlink" button does not show in Marketplace Partner Dashboards

            There is a known issue with Sophos Marketplace specific Partners who will not see the "Delete Scheduled Unlink" button on their customers' page within the Partner Dashboard.

            The "Delete Scheduled Unlink" function is used when a partner wants to cancel a previously scheduled unlink request.

            If a Marketplace partner needs to cancel a previously scheduled unlink, please request this within a new Technical Support case. Please include 1. the UUID for your Partner Dashboard, 2. The UUID of the customer you want to cancel the scheduled unlink for and 3. This Known issue ID https://sophos.atlassian.net/browse/CPLAT-57559#icft=CPLAT-57559 in your request to Sophos.

            CPLAT-57201
                Sophos Automate or Kaseya VSA plugins: repeated 403 errors recorded with each sync due to unmanaged or trial-based customers.

                There is a known error/behavior that will be triggered with each Sophos Automate plugin (or Sophos Kaseya VSA plugin) for any partner customers that are either

                1. Unmanaged

                2. Trial licensed

                Errors will be seen in the plugin logs

                • “Failed API request for …. status code: 403 …. “

                • “Failed to retrieve Alert(s) for …. status code: 403 …. “

                • “Failed to retrieve Computers(s) for …. status code: 403 …. “

                • “Warning occurred while syncing tenant/endpoint”

                Specific to Automate Plugin: the Computers and Alert sections may show the orange warning message “Sync completed with some warnings”

                Note: This is the same known issue/behavior that can also be seen in a Customer or Partners Audit logs (see Known Issue item CPLAT-48961 below)

                In the interim of any future Sophos Automate or Kaseya VSA plugin updates that may address this, these errors/entries are expected and can be ignored.

                CPLAT-48961
                    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?

                    • These are entries made by your Partner's RMM applications that utilize our Sophos plug-in/Management APIs.

                    • It is the Sophos Plugin running on the Partners Server that is the source of the request. (examples of some of the utilities: https://community.sophos.com/sophos-integrations/w/integrations )

                    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.

                    • If there are any questions or concerns about these entries, please contact Sophos Technical Support for help or clarification on what is being logged. Please reference this Known Issue entry.

                    If there are any questions or concerns about these entries, please contact Sophos Technical Support for help or clarification on what is being logged. Please reference this Known Issue entry. Note that in the interim of any future Sophos Automate or Kaseya VSA plugin updates that may address this, these errors/entries are expected and can be ignored.

                        Partner Dashboard - PSA Ticketing integration: Duplicate tickets are sometimes seen being created for the same endpoint detection event

                        There is a known behavior where a Partner utilizing our PSA ticketing may see duplicate tickets getting created for an Endpoint detection event.

                        • You will also see what appears to be duplicate alerts created in both the Partner Dashboard and Central Dashboard.

                        • This can be seen when there are multiple detections of the same kind but happen to be in different locations within an archive file.

                        • While these are different detections (within the archive), when viewed in Central, they appear to be only from the same archive file. This makes it appear as if they are duplicates when, in fact, they are separate detections.

                        For example, if you have 10 copies of psexec in 10 different locations within a single archive file, and you are scanning for PUAs, the endpoint will detect each of the 10 separate PUA locations and trigger 10 separate detection alerts that will also be seen in your Partner Dashboard and PSA Ticketing integration.

                        How to handle the multiple tickets will depend on how an organization will address this scenario. If the single archive file will be removed or addressed, then only one of the tickets needs to be open. If the archive file needs to remain, then each one of the individual paths (and alerts/tickets created) will be valid until they are resolved.

                        • CPG 2024.15
                          Enterprise Dashboard: Any custom dashboards created, edited, or deleted by an Enterprise Administrator will be reflected in all subestates.

                          It is expected behavior that when an Enterprise Administrator creates, edits or deleted a Custom Dashboard within one Subestate, it will be also be created, updated, or deleted for all Subestates in the Enterprise environment.

                          If an administrator would like a custom dashboard that is only shown in one subestate, this can be done by a local administrator for the Central account.

                          • CPG 2022.18
                            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 2022.09
                              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.

                                  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.

                                  • Filter users and groups - Sophos Central Admin (Filter ‘User Type’ allows you to select just Member userType to sync if needed)

                                  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.

                                    Partner Dashboard: Sophos Customers page - A Cloud Optix trial icon may incorrectly show for next to some Customers.

                                    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.

                                      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.

                                          Some regions may see unreliable reception of SMS security codes for Sophos multi-factor authentication

                                          The regulatory authorities in certain countries have specific SMS requirements, which may result in some customers not receiving SMS or receiving them as potential spam when signing in.

                                          List of countries with special SMS requirements:

                                          • Belarus

                                          • Egypt

                                              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. (the EDB administrator is not able to resolve this)

                                                    This will prevent this Central Dashboard from being able to enable EDB from this account in this state.

                                                    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.

                                                        One common reason for these errors is a result of customers' local IDP server being behind a firewall with regional restrictions that is preventing communication with Auth0 services hosted in Europe.

                                                        Sophos Federation login utilizes Auth0 as a third-party proxy service for integration with different IDP providers. This requires customers on-premise IDP server to be able to communicate with Auth0’s servers.

The Server re-protected events will remain visible, even after unticking the Event type ‘Computer and Server re-protected’ category.

                                                                  Until this is resolved, the “Computer or server re-protected” event needs to be ignored in the report. As we understand that this can be annoying, there is a limitation in our current design, and the fix required, unfortunately, needs a good amount of changes. We are in the transformative process of handling all events to go through a centralized workflow.

                                                                              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

The usage will be corrected once a user has logged into the device, and the default user will no longer appear.

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.

While this will prevent the majority of events from being logged, processes running at a higher integrity level that are attempting to load the SophosAMSIProvider.dll will still produce an event.

                                                                                                      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 is expected behavior as the exclusion handling is performed by the HitmanPro.Alert Service, which is temporarily unavailable when the service is restarted during an update or when the service is already stopped during a restart/shutdown event but the excluded application is still performing file operations, suspicious to Ransomware Protection.

                                                                                                                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

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 discrepancy occurs because the tabs within Activity logs (Network, Storage, Host, Users) do not include items from the Error logs tab.

This may show 90 total in Activity Insights > Logs > Activity Logs> All tab. In this scenario, the remaining 10 logs are under the Error tab.

                                                                                                                                                To match the count of logs, please ensure you check the tab you have queried for and 'Error' tab under Activity Insights.

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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Roaming from one APX to another APX can cause 15 seconds of network disconnection for traffic between hosts connected to the same APX.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                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.

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

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.

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. **

The riskscore column gives a text indication of the risk level assigned to the domain.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In some situations, requests with a valid riskscore, especially ‘Likely clean’ or ‘Trusted’ may also be logged with domain_risk=0.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    This issue only affects data in XDR queries and does not impact the correct application of policy, or in DNS Protection reports. The 'riskscore' column should be treated as correct.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The cause of this issue is that the Dashboard view calculates daily totals based on UTC time, whereas the Logs & Reports view uses the user's local time. For users not located in the UTC timezone, the totals for each day will be different.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        There is no clear workaround for this issue. Selecting a specific time range in Reports that corresponds to 00:00 UTC may allow creation of a report that confirms the dashboard view.

This can be seen even when reporting on past periods. For example if you have selected a time range from 7:00PM-8:00PM as a filter, then you might won't see logs with timestamp 7:40PM or higher. You may need to extend “End time” duration in order to see complete data from 7PM-8PM.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The cause of this issue is that the data is selected for the report based on the time it was inserted into the reporting database, not the time of the actual event.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            To see more complete data, it may be necessary to select an extended time range.

When it completes, the downloaded report displays no data.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The "envelope from" and "data from" headers in outbound emails sent through Sophos Email Security must be in the same domain.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  If the primary account email address is user@domain1.com and an email is sent from the alias alias@domain2.com, Google Workspace sends the email with the "envelope from" header as "user@domain1.com". But the "data from" header is alias@domain2.com.

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

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Contact Google Workspace support to ask for the "envelope from" and "data from" headers to be matched for outbound emails, regardless of the alias used.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    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 is because Data control blocking uses True File Types and .p7b files share a file type with the .crt exception.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Ensure endpoints has network connectivity so that endpoints can fetch new certifcate 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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              1. If any traffic is initiated from WAN side and destination as XG WAN IP (i.e WAN to WAN zone) and specifically for TCP 80/443 port number, it will be logged as 'Allowed' in 'Log viewer' > Firewall component. The same traffic might show 'Denied' in the Web filter logs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              2. Consider a DNAT configured on XG to allow ANY WAN to LAN traffic towards internal server. Now, even if we have a WAN to LAN firewall rule on TOP with specific source IP/Networks and action as DROP/REJECT, we will see 'Allowed' traffic in Firewall and Web filter logs of log viewer. The only thing to validate is that the 'Allowed' web filter entry have the 'Policy ID' marked for the DROP/REJECT firewall rule configured on TOP.

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.

Reason is that requests from the LAN zone will reach the webserver(s) directly without passing the XG.

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. So, as per greylisting, failed E-Mail should retried but this is rejected with Log entry "451 Temporary local problem, please try again!"

This is a known issue of the Android functionality we use for monitoring SD card access.

Starting with Android8, 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.

It’s a permission setting for apps that can install other apps. For example, a file manager app.

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 version6.1 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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            1. Login to the Switch CLI via SSH/TELNET or Serial Console.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            2. Once we get the CLI prompt, run thecommand "configure terminal"to get into switch configuration mode.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            3. Now set the login authentication mode to Local by running thecommand "no login authentication"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            4.

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.

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

Ideally the client MAC entry should be present onlyin new roamed AP and entry in older AP should be removed when itroams to new AP.

Client MAC entry in older AP will be removed after 5 minutes and there will not be any effect on AP functionality. This is only a UI issue.

Manual channel selection is highly recommended.

When pulling other reports like SSL VPN information and comparing it to the executive report the data may not match up. This is due to the fact that the executive report is only for the last 30 days. If the Month has 31 days then the 1st day is cut off.

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 .

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.

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.

Depending on which of the interfaces is on top of the interface group the IPtables rules will be written. Everytime you change the order, the rules will change.

Or at least have a way of regenerating these from the GUI without the license.

Change some settings and apply the changes before you repeat the steps above to change the remaining country's.

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

This sets the interface order as static on the UTM side to stay consistent with the Hyper-V side interface config.

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.

We recommend that you use the legacy network adapter only to perform a network-based installation or when the guest operating system does not support the network adapter.

(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.

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.

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.
