I have Sophos FE 8 installed on a Mac running El Capitan (10.11.6). I've set up server sync, which works, and installed the configuration file. I currently have a single policy applied to this group for testing and it DOES appear to be applying the policy to the folder I've specified. I see the policy in the "received policies" tab, but nothing in the locally translated path tab.
However, I get a software request to install a "helper file" which fails stating that my installed software is too old (?) and the helper tool install fails.
I can right click on a file and create a "password protected" file. But if I put an file into my test folder, it doesn't get encrypted. If I select it and click on the Sophos icon it says "the file is not encrypted but an encryption rule is defined for the file."
I've checked everything I can think of but I'm stuck.
As well, if I uninstall the software and reinstall, it removes the contents of the protected folder! That's a very dangerous action.
Is it not possible to create a policy and have it apply to an EXISTING folder? Does it have to make a new folder on it's own which is then at the mercy of the software? I had planned to encrypt some files on my server if I can get this to work, but I'm concerned it will delete the contents in the process.
Thank you.
