Hello Sophos,
can we still expect the XG V18 MR 3 this week ?
Update: SFOS v18 MR3 has been released
Please see - https://community.sophos.com/xg-firewall/b/blog/posts/xg-firewall-v18-mr3
Hi All,
Here's the latest update:
As with any release for XG Firewall, ensuring high quality and a great customer experience is our top priority with MR3. For this reason, we generally do not make timing commitments for Maintenance Releases and only publish them once they meet our high quality standards. MR3 is a substantial release, integrating a number of security and performance enhancements as well as a significant number of fixes. We know there is high anticipation amongst partners and customers for many of these enhancements and are working as fast as possible to get it into their hands. We expect to release it next week but as mentioned, quality is our top priority and that will determine the release timing.
But from what I understand, removing a user from an ad group should only put him back to the default group. Therefor the user will be able to access the user portal, even when not having any permission assign inside the default group, am I correct?
This is something I would love to see, like in Sophos SG, so being able to specify group membership for such firewall services and don't sync users, that could not authenticate against the firewall based on the permission scope, if you understand what I mean ;)
As I said, the release notes give you the links to the installers. It wasn't clear that you weren't upgrading, hence my MySophos reference.

sure would be nice if those were hyperlinks. I spent the past hour tying to find. I was pretty clear in the 4 posts I made that I need to be able to install correctly on intel hardware here I am trying to make Sophos money by having clients buy you product.
Guess I'll give Sonic Wall my business I can't imagine the average user ever sorting out the Sophos issues and since time is money I have to look elsewhere.
No, but generally you can get a new appliance with 3 years support and updates for the cost of Sophos license and "commodity =: hardware. And that support covers the hardware where if your NUC/1U server craps out with Sophos you have to replace that. Its not ideal but it works for a small medium company.
