Wrong Credential for Sophos Safeguard Provided - Local Logon is Disabled

Hi All.

I was wondering if you find an error like the below and can help me to find the solution:

We started to deploy Sophos Safeguard 8.10 on Windows 10 version 1903 and we are encountering the following error: On some users (not all ) after the setup of the software with a local admin account as usualy  we restart the machine and  we logon with the user to whom we have to assign the machine: The pc start to exchange data with Sophos Safeguard Console;

The pc does not receive the policy of safeguard, so we are not prompted to set pin (TPM+PIN policy) and the pc becomes unresponsive, RunAS command hang, search bar is blocked;

Checking services, safeguard authentication service is not started, even it is set to start automatically. If we Start the service “safeguard authentication service” from a remote pc, then the pc receives the policy I am prompted to set pin and to click Restart and Encrypt. Once  restarted the machine, and I try to login with the user I receive the following error:

Wrong Credential for Sophos Safeguard Provided and once I click on ok, Local Logon is Disabled, I can then only login using windows authentication.

If I logon with the same user on a different pc (same model, and same OS) with version of Sophos Safeguard 8.005, instead I Can login without any issue, So what does it change between the 2 version?

Thanks in advance

Pietro

  • Hmmm.... This doesn't too good!

    Can you confirm the exact version of the client you're using on the workstation, and also what's your backend running - 8.1 too? Could we have the full version of this too please?

    Can you also confirm what version of the File Engine you're using too?

    It does sound like a incompatibility between the client and OS.

    1903 needs 8.00.6.2 or 8.10.2.55 or 8.20.0.83. Can you confirm you're using one of those versions with 1903?

    There is a known issue with July patches - Are all the machines on the same version and updates as each other?

  • Hi  

    Would you please confirm your machine settings policy has below setting for the Secure Wake on LAN?

    If yes, Would you please configure the 'Default Machine Settings | Power On Authentication (POA) | Secure Wake on LAN (WOL) | Allow local logon during WOL' to 'Yes' and apply the change to the SafeGuard Client.

    Then try to login to the machine.

  • Thanks for the answer I'maasking to the Team if they can make this change for me as I unfortunately I'm not allowed to; Is there a way to set it directly on the client using the registry of Windows? Thanks

  • Hi Pietro,

    Unfortunately not as it is a policy change and client always be in synchronization with Server, so if we haven't changed policy on the Safeguard Management console, it can revert the changes on the client.
