How to configure Sophos Safeguard Encryption on Mac OS X (10.11.6 - El Capitan)

Which actual version of Sophos SafeGuard are you running Dornao?

I did have some issues with Sierra and SG as you described - previously trusted certs were suddenly no longer good enough!! I updated my back end and client and now everything's fine again.

I'm currently running 8.00.2.13 on the servers and my Mac client is running 8.00.1.7

My certs are externally signed with a CA so I didn't have any trust issues. Self signed certs "should" be ok though as long as you're just doing this all internally?

we have 8.00.1.7 on the client and 8.00.0.280 on the server side

Hmm... Sounds new enough? How annoying/odd.

As a quick test is it worth trying to disable server SSL on the client to see if that resolves/identifies the issue?

that seems to work, now at least the client is able to connect to the server

thanks lot for your quick response!

Great news and you're very welcome!

Worth doing some more testing now we know the certs aren't being trusted by your client.

Did you go into Keychain Access and set the custom settings of the cert to be always trust for SSL? (Utilities - Keychain Access - System - Select your cert - Use Custom settings - Always trust for SSL)

Good luck!

Hi Michael,

I have checked and I have the certs as "Always Trust" (we have two servers, and both servers certificates are always trusted)
