Sophos Factory: Upload LetsEncrypt Certificates on SFOS via Factory

LuCar Toni

Sophos Factory offers pre build pipelines to upload and manage certificates on a Sophos Firewall. 
For example can you upload and use Certificates like LetsEncrypt Certificates in SFOS with those Pipelines. 

If you have a Certificate already generated like described here:  [HowTo] Lets Encrypt Renewal Process with Factory 

You can simply use those certificates with the predefined Pipelines. You find them in the global catalog:

This Pipeline require the following Inputs:

Which could be extracted by a pipeline before that. Like this one:  [HowTo] Lets Encrypt Renewal Process with Factory 

In combination: 

Which will upload the certificate to the firewall. 
To integrate the Firewall, please follow the following: Sophos Factory: Integrate Sophos Factory with Sophos Firewall  

This would be the editor code for everything:

    too much setup for a few Lets Encrypt certificates...

    then we would have to look for another easier solution, which unfortunately this is not.

  • in reply to ThomasBauer

    This solution still works as Wildcard Certificate and can be used everywhere else. So it is not a simple "WAF Certificate" like UTM did it. Instead you have a Wildcard Certificate to be used for everything you want (one certificate for everything within the domain). 

    This approach makes it much easier to deploy it on different solutions as well. And you could even upload it to other solutions like servers or solutions with API Access. 

    Factory is an automation tool, perfect for partners or customers to automate certain process. 

    To run factory only for Lets Encrypt might be an complicate solution, but you could do much more there as well. For example, i am refreshing LE for multiple solutions scheduled, upload code to firewalls etc.

    Would this be appropriate for a partner to deploy and assign certificates across several hundred clients?  Seems like that would be a challenge.  Not a single wildcard cert but a cert for every company.

    As you can scale this, you would generate per customer one certificate and "offer the certificate to the customer". Partners doing this right now. 

    The point here is: The wildcard can be offered directly to the firewall or as multiple approaches. For example you can upload it to the firewall and send it as a S3 Bucket Download to the customer via Email or Teams. So the customer can reuse it manually, if he wants. 

    The customer in the end does one thing (one time config): He creates a CNAME to the partner domain. The rest is automatically generated by lego in this principle. I wrote about this here:  [HowTo] Lets Encrypt Renewal Process with Factory 

    Right now, i am doing this for 20 domains automatically (Upload to firewalls and offering via Teams). 

    Factory offers the way to automate this per domain, per customer individually. Which means: You build the pipeline and then recreate the customer variables one time and run this pipeline per customer automatically every 90 days. 

    It is a service offering from the partner for the customer. Some customers do not need a LE certificate, as they have no public facing services anyway. 

    And as this solution is entirely free, you are free to try it and report back about your findings.
