SEC updating policy Proxy settings and Mac clients

Hi there,

We've just setup an update server in a DMZ so that our roaming users can update off our server, inside or outside of our company and it appears to be working well.

We've set an update policy for this server so that the primary location is our server, and the secondary is Sophos.

Neither of these locaiton should require a proxy to be set (inside our network, our endpoints should contact our server (no backup), outside, they'll get either our server or the main sophos ones as a backup)

On our Macs, beacause no proxy details are being set by the SEC policy, its coming up as 'use system proxy' instead rathaer than the expected case of 'use no proxy'

At the moment, our Mac fleet has autoproxy detection, so inside work they pick up our proxy, and outside our network, they'll get nothing.

I'd like some way of saying, you don't need any proxy and not have the sophos Mac client going 'oh, no proxy set, so I'll obey whatever the mac system proxy is'

I thought of setting a blank proxy - ie tick the use proxy box, but put no details in, but it pops up a dialogue "You must enter the proxy address"

I'm currently on SEC 5.0 and the Mac client on my test mac is: 8.0.11

Any thoughts or ideas?  There might be an obvious answer staring me in the face, but I'm missing it :)

  • Thanks again Christian,

    I've been able to use that noproxy.sophos.com and it works as advertised - I'll  just have to make it clear that its a mac only policy.

    I'm still having issues with my clients contacting the machine in the dmz, but I think thats more to do with our security between our dmz and our network -something for us to tweak.

    Cheers for the tips
