Token not found

Hi Mark,
is the Hardware where you using Skylake based or newer? POA is not really supported on these "new" platforms...

You could do a vote for this feature at the Ideas http://ideas.sophos.com/forums/143208-sophos-data-protection/suggestions/18509629-windows-10-poa
Maybe Sophos is listening to us that we want POA with Smartcards and USB Tokens with modern Hardware even with Bitlocker.
Companys like Cryptware are supporting such features with Bitlocker.

Cheers Peter

Thanks Peter, actually it is Windows 7 running on a Dell Latitude E7440 ( Intel i7 - Haswell). Other devices work OK so maybe it is just this model, or even this specific device.  But yes, also testing with Windows 10 led me to the same conclusions about POA support - it just adds another layer for companies wanting to use tokens / smartcards.

Hi Mark,
in the newest POACFG file from the Sophos FTP is a settings entry for the E7440, do you have tried the installation with this?

Hi Peter,

Good shout... I tried this but still no luck :/ . I think there are only so many challenge/responses I can handle within a week so I will give it up for now. I'm wondering about one last thing though - the laptop has a dead battery, but even with a good battery in I have the same problem. But I haven't tried installing the client and encrypting while the good battery is installed, so maybe I can try this. Can't see that it would make a difference though.

Cheers,

Mark.
