When you install the 10.0.2 EAP on a macOS 11 Big Sur computer, you are presented with a dialog requesting access for SophosWebNetworkExtension to create a proxy configuration. Is there a way to eliminate this dialog with a configuration profile from an MDM?
Since you already have documentation for configuring options like this with Jamf Pro at https://community.sophos.com/intercept-x-endpoint/f/recommended-reads/116397/sophos-mac-endpoint-how-to-configure-jamf-privacy-preferences-for-10-15-compatibility, I am posting the correct keys for the 10.0.2 EAP to pre-approve the proxy configuration.
Within the same Configuration Profile, add a Content Filter payload (this requires Jamf Pro 10.26+) with the following keys and values configured:
| Filter Name | SophosWebNetworkExtension |
| Identifier | com.sophos.endpoint.network |
| Network Filter Bundle Identifier | com.sophos.endpoint.networkextension |
| Network Filter Designated Requirement | identifier "com.sophos.endpoint.networkextension" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = "2H5GFH3774" |
Note that the Filter Name can be anything, but it is required.
Once the complete, the payload should look like this:

Thank you mscottblake!
I've added your information to the JAMF Community post
P.S - Take a look in your inbox 
May someone please provide an xml version or a hint for Profile Editors of the settings for those of us who don´t use JAMF?
I tried to set up a configuration profile (with iMazing Profile Editor or Mac Server Profilemanager) using the given information. But it results in " Profile installation failed. The VPN Service payload could not be installed. The VPN service could not be created." The profile seems to try setting up something else... Thanks in advance!
