VPN Clientless Access Bookmark - credentials

Hi Rick,

Let me confirm this and come back to you with an answer.

Thanks

Just got an new XG unit and went to set up bookmarks for SMB and RDP and also found the lack of passthrough credentials frustrating.  I hope there is a workaround.

Please fix this. It makes bookmarks useless if you the user can't enter his/her credentials or there is no passing of the credentials used to login to the portal.

Its September 2018 - Single Sign On is a thing. You can't be expected to make a bookmark for each of your users. Or to have them have to enter their credentials twice. That's just crazy. Get with the times Sophos.

As far as i now, there are some plans to implement such features in the future, but i am not aware of any time frames. 

Personally speaking, i do not use the HTML5 Portal quite often. Just because it is no alternative for other VPN RAS technologies like SSL or IPsec. 

Of course a VPN is better in terms of access, but for the casual remote worker the complexities of allowing a VPN on an untrusted device are too high.  A SSL Remote access portal is meant to give controlled access to specific resources on the corporate lan without a wide open vpn.

But: You are giving the same kind of access with HTML5 to any user? They can easily access with a infected client to the HTML5 Portal and get access to the Corporate network. 

Nevertheless here in Germany, most of the company's cannot allow employees to use personal computers to access company data. And this is most of the time the use case for HTML5. Giving privat / personal devices access to company resources. And as a admin i would not allow such access to my network (e.g zero trust). 

Sorry for starting an off topic conversation about this feature. 

Is there any update on this?

I'm unsure if I got it right, the SMB bookmarks are implemented but don't work at all?

The only possibility is to enter the credentials directly into the bookmark configuration and then no access control is possible and you cannot retrace who made changes.

Can someone from sophos please confirm if this is indeed never going to work again. You are removing HTTPS bookmarks that dont work, and apparently now i find out the SMB bookmarks also have no way to be working.

I havent even tried RDP bookmarks yet...

Really wish i hadn't renewed my support contract for the next three years on this POS recently. What a lemon these firewalls are becoming, i am going to stop recommending them to people.

Hi givemecontrol 

I have tested SMB bookmarks and have found them to be working perfectly fine.

If you are requesting to have SMB bookmarks use the same credentials as the user signed on, then you will need to submit a feature request.

Currently there is no request for this as a feature.

Thanks!
