Sophos XG Firewall for Home - generate locally signed certificate is dim

Michael L

In order to control kid's internet access time, I enabled the authentication. If using "web authentication for unknown users", timeout will happen after about 10 min if using other app such as YouTube. Hence I try to deploy the agent. The problem is the "generate locally signed certificates" is dim and I could not create agent cert.

From another post in the forum, this issue happens in evaluation and it would be gone after registration. However I checked that the home firewall has been registered but the licenses are still Evaluating. Does it mean Sophos FW home not support "generate locally signed certificate"?

    Hello Michael,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    Adding to what Gavo and Rfcat mentioned, make sure the Default Certificate authority is filled up already.

    Certificates >> Certificate Authoriries >> Default.

    Regards,

    Thank Emmanuel, yes it is the issue. I need to set the default cert.

    Thank the input from Gavo and Rfcat too. Since my kid have more than one device, I will limit 2 hour internet access per day for all devices in total. Hence I need to set the daily surface time quota and to enable the authentication.
