Updates fails with WindowsProxyDiscoveryWrapper - GetProxyForUrl Failed to get the automatic proxy configuration. The error code was 12167

Hello,

some days back, a good friend offered me a used Sophos UTM 110/120 (without HDD / License).
Meanwhile the system is running at home with a new hdd and a home license.

Since the system reports that "Endpoint Antivirus" is licensed for 10 users I'm now trying to install it on one client.

The installation succeeds, but the update always fails with the following excerpt from SophosUpdate.log:

    2017-11-26T19:01:09.034Z [ 1056] INFO  SDDSDownloader::SyncInternal No manually configured proxy.
    2017-11-26T19:01:09.034Z [ 1056] INFO  WindowsProxyDiscoveryWrapper::GetDefaultProxyConfiguration WinHttp default proxy not set

Accoding to the UTMs Web-Protection log, it really tries to access that file, but really can't find it:

    2017:11:26-20:13:25 utm httpproxy[4447]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb"
      sub="http" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="192.168.5.22" dstip="178.79.242.217"
      statuscode="404" cached="0"
      url="dci.sophosupd.com/.../f638c3f5dfbda955804e4189d290c4b1.xml"

What I tried so far:

o Endpoint Protection
  - Installed the Package multiple times on the client.
    Each time with a restart in between removal and reinstallation.
  - Disabled "Endpoint Protection" on the UTM, enabled it again,
    reset the registration token and downloaded the package
    each time again from scratch.
  - Tried the slim and the full package.
o Web-Protection (in transparent mode)
  - Excluded all Sophos Servers (LiveConnect and Update-Servers) from transparency-mode
  - Excluded the Client from transparency-mode
  - Enabled and disabled caching
  - Enabled and disabled the option to force caching of Sophos Endpoint Updates
  - Cleared the cache multiple times
  - (Alway kept default exclusions for "Sophos LiveConnect" and "Sophos Services" enabled)
o Tried to access some Sophos URLs manually:
  - "http://dci.sophosupd.com" reports: "Sophos dci Site" and "Connection Successful"
  - "dci.sophosupd.com/.../" reports: 404

What can I do to get it working?

Best regards, Uwe

  • Hi Uwe and Sophos support... this seems to be an issue

    I'm experiencing similar issues and like you Uwe, pretty much done your "Tried so Far List"

    Also I cannot seem to expose and log any traffic to "Sophos" domains with Live Logs for Network or Web traffic - so I have no idea if it is blocked or not

    Im on UTM Home

    Firmware version:        9.506-2
    Pattern version:        135988

    My log of frustration!!!
