EAP SSL-TLS Scanning: Category Exclusions and Firewallmanagement not working

skipping e.g. deutsche-bank.de  (a german financial institute) with the URL Exclusion list, you can see, it is not scanning SSL:

Result is:

-------------------------

and now again removed the URL exclusion in Central:

scanned by Sophos

excluding IP addresses or IP subnet's in Central does not work - the client is ignoring the setting and keeps hijacking SSL connection.

from help:

does anyone care about the IP exclusions not working? What's the use of the EAP Forum then?

an update to "category exclusions" - that's now working. i interpreted the switches the opposite way. needs to be on/green to exclude.

This is my first week of running with SSL decryption turned on for my general work system and I'm seeing this same issue, and others.

- Accessing internal system managements interfaces using IPs excluded from decryption fail with PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR (firefox) and ERR_CONNECTION_RESET (chrome)

- Related to IP exclusions, accessing internal system management interfaces using non-FQDN names are not properly excluded

- Various sites fail intermittently with the error SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL, then work after 10-15 seconds

- Some pages simply fail to load, such as https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/ or https://www.brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php

In general, there will need to be some serious reliability improvements to this component for us to enable this functionality across our organization.

thats usually with firefox open while Sophos endpoint updates are installed in the background. Typical is IPS. had this today again. then you need to close all browser processes and start a fresh session. EP module updates break their ability to do the man in the middle SSL scan for opened browsers.

I can open both of your links fine, though, reencrypred by Sophos Endpoint RSA Root CA

then it happens, that they're not able to update their program

that also happens when your network connectivity changes. You move with your notebook to a different location, plug LAN cable etc. Need to close and reopen browser.
