  • Salman,

    are you using local or AD users? Check the tail -f access_server.log from advanced shell for more info.

    Do not enable OTP for webadmin otherwise CAA stops working.

    Regards

  • Dear lferrara

    i have not enabled the OPT nor using sophos with the AD integration , i am only using sophos local users , however my client's computers are joined to the domain with a restricted domain_users .

    my problem is that the CAA is not storing the credentials .

    where does the CAA save it ? location so i can grant the application write permission to it

     

    regards

  • Hello Salman,

     

    are other options saved when you click them? 

    Assuming you are talking about the Windows version, the user should have access writing into registry (CURRENT_USER).

  • Hi Salman, 

    The CAA client would store the password in the location , as per the path mentioned below the password is encrypted. You may set the Dword value to 1 if its set to 0.
