Sophos Connect: MFA box parameter in .ovpn files?

Is there any way to activate the MFA box at login in Sophos Connect direct in a .ovpn config (no provisioning)?

I guess with provisioning the firewall will also only create a .ovpn config with a parameter for MFA.




client
dev tun
proto udp
verify-x509-name "C=NA, ST=NA, L=NA, O=NA, OU=NA, CN=Appliance_Certificate_R3i4MjKOeECloSs, emailAddress=na@example.com"
route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
<ca>
....
</key>
auth-user-pass
cipher AES-128-GCM
auth SHA256

  • Yes, I'd certainly like to hear about this being fixed too... it's been a problem for quite a while.

  • Same here; would love to have this fixed. We have written in our manual that on first connect after importing .pro file is is always necessary to connect twice because of this.

    Another time where sort of the same thing is happening is when the VPN-connection drops due to the key lifetime expring. Upon renewing the key the client cannot reconnect anymore due to MFA-token


    Managing several Sophos firewalls both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

  • So the main issue here is: SFOS does not support the same OTP for secure reasons. 

    That is the main limitation here --> We are looking into how to proceed here. That was also the reason for the KIL above. Reusing the same OTP for this reason could be problematic. 

    We are still looking into ways to build this.
