When trying to install/run SEC on my workstation for accessing the console as a client I get the following error I have checked KB 118513 anyone have any ideas?

Sophos.UIController.Extension.UIControllerException: Cannot retrieve session token after 8 retries. Please check that the Sophos Management Host service is running, otherwise see KBA 118513.

  • Hello roblenz,

    as the local console works and the problems are with the remote console only part of 118513 applies anyway.
    Is this a domain environment and if, is the database user a local or a domain account? Does it take some time (say, more than half a minute) until you get the error? Just asking because a timeout when trying to connect to the HTTP service causes the same symptoms. As a quick test enter http://yourserver/Sophos/Management/Auditing/AuditingService in your browser - you should immediately get an empty page (actually an HTTP 400 error).
