WAF protection and authentication policy templates were added for common Microsoft services for protection and authentication.

True File Type Scanning to be able to block uploads based on MIME type.

WAF Proxy Protocol Support to use the client IP info inside the ProxyProtocol header to make policy decisions and improve logging.

  • Sophos Sandstorm

Datacenter location selection for Sophos Sandstorm without relying on DNS based location detection.

  • Anyone else who's suffering from the "Client Authentication daemon not running -restarted" issue is very welcome to enable Support Access and PM the Access ID to me. Trust me I'm legit! ;-)

    Turns out this issue is related to high availability configuration on a single node setup.
     
    If you don't have a high availability setup and see repeating lines like these in the Client Authentication log file:
    2017:05:16-19:35:24 utm argos[1531]: [main]: Starting argos - Endpoint Security daemon
    2017:05:16-19:35:24 utm argos[1531]: [load_config]: Running as HA MASTER node
    2017:05:16-19:35:24 utm argos[1531]: [main]: Failed to init HA! Cannot assign requested address

    go to  WebAdmin » Management » High Availability » Configuration » High Availability Status and set Operation mode to Off.

    The client authentication feature should then work again as it used to be. We'll fix this in one of the next updates.

    Sorry for the troubles caused.

  • in reply to HeikoHund

    Thanks HeikoHund! That fix worked for me. HA was set to Auto Config. Was that something that 9.5 turned on or was something I may have turned on before but didn't see any issues with?

    The default setting is "Off", so it looks like you may have made the change. We're still looking into the root cause for this and it seems to only happen for systems that have received a fair amount of up2dates. With a fresh install this issue is not reproducible.

  • in reply to HeikoHund

    Heikohund, that's not entirely true.

    In the start uf UTM 9 (i think) the Default was "Auto" and i assume if you upgrade the appliance and never do a reinstall this setting will be kept.

     

    So maybe, JamesGolden, you have an older Installation and because of that the setting is "Auto".

     

    Regards,

    Michael

    I haven't upgraded to 9.5 yet, but have had the UTM for a while and only ever done up2dates, no fresh install.

    I've never been into HA but went in to have a look, mine was set to Automatic Configuration.  This must at some point have been the default configuration.
