New SUM version works with proxies

Hi,

we had issues with Sophos Update Manager: It was unable to work with our proxyserver. SUM was unable to contact the sophos update-server, and using SUM required us to open port 80 in our firewall toward the sophos addresses.

I have just discovered that Sophos has released a new version 1.0.3.122 of SUM which seems to solve the proxy-issues.

The new version is automatically deployed if your SUM is active and set to use the "recommended" version of SUM. You can check this as follows:

Open Sophos Enterprise Console

Open Update Manager

On the right pane is one entry for your server, and the column "Version" should indicate 1.0.3.122.

To test the proxy-functionality:

Open the SUM configuration (double-click the server-name)

Double-click "Sophos" in the source list.

Check the proxy-checkbox. Our proxy requires authentication so I entered valid credentials.

Right-click the SUM-entry, and select "update now"

After 2-3 minutes, the download-state shows the time of the last successful download.

However, the current installer from Sophos' website does still contain an older version - I compared the file with our old copy, and they are identical.

If you are unable to install SUM with the current installer, you should contact support - maybe they can provide you with a download for the new SUM.

Best regards,

Detlev Rackow
