To be clear, Flo, clearing the cache will work, but all that's necessary is to delete the related cookies.  That should tip the devs off as to what might need to change.  Also, it's much less destructive than clearing the cache.

Edit 2018-11-13: see my post below with a workaround.

If you have not yet Up2Dated to 9.510-5, DON'T!!!!!!

Based on another thread here, I tested the [Download] buttons on the 'Internal Users' tab of 'Email >> Encryption' - they are ineffective - no download results.

After opening a Support ticket for that, I tested downloads elsewhere.  Apparently, the [Download] buttons in 'Certificate Management' depend on the same code.

I'll PM the case #s to Flo.

hi Bob,

darn, I have just upgraded this morning! luckily the company does not use this feature.

Although I was prompted by Sophos support to update, this is due to an issue with the Geo IP DB (being out of date) and showing a Public IP the customer are using as Swiss.

This I know is an issue since April, the DB used is from Maxmind, and they [Maxmind] have confirmed that on April 1st this year the DB was deprecated for a newer version which Sophos has not yet updated.

Should this not be incorporated within a pattern update?

This does play havoc with Country blocking, as my router would effectively block itself .. lol 

currently (it seems) the QA for UTM updates is a little lax ...

EDIT

Have since found out that this is an issue with the product being used on the UTM, no known fix date for this :(, i have already found this out (one of my customers Public IPs shows up as Swiss, so country blocking may work some of the time but no guarantees)

on a more positive note - the upgrade wen without hitch, other than some users needing to clear their cache... 

oh sophos, what have you done....

UTM is a realy good product, much better than xg. please throw xg away and focus again on utm

My numer 1 Problem - Exchange 2016 with more than one real server via waf isn't fixed, since we migrated to this and this was a year in the past.
considering that now exchange 2019 comes out

Just released - some of it is good news - but keep in mind, XG is here to stay...:

Here's a link to a post I made with a workaround that alters a certificate name to allow the certificate to be downloaded.

@Bob,

Is 9.510-4(5?) safe to update to now?

Updated to 9.510-5.

Still getting the same errors as in post

Thought this would of been fixed by now.

Good thing for backups!!

We have an SG115 HA pair running the latest 9.6 branch (9.602-3) and are still getting these errors endlessly in our wireless logs.

Our ticket with support says that this is benign, but we have constant complaints about the wifi at this location, where as we have no complaints at other locations that don't show this error.

What is it? How is it resolved?
