Sophos Firewall: v19.0 EAP1: Feedback and experiences

It seems to me that when you're logged into the web interface the timeout that logs you out happens way to fast. I have it set to the max (120 minutes), but I can end up back at the wen interface login page in just a few minutes Anyone else seeing this?

(Then again, when I have multiple Sophos tabs open in Safari, weird things happen with tabs closing themselves, etc. Doesn't seem to happen under any other conditions.)

[Edited to clarify the first sentence as referring to login/logout of the web interface, not the log view.]

You mean the Logviewer? This is "until the appliance is full" - Which depends on the appliance size. Smaller boxes will quicker be overwriting.

I login to the XGS via the web interface. I have 120 minutes set as the timeout under Admin settings. In the past, it has pretty much been 120 idle minutes before I was logged out and the web interface login showed up in my browser. But in EAP1 I can go back to the page maybe 15 minutes later and I'm back at the login prompt and I have to login. Or not at the login prompt but its unresponsive until I refresh the page and then I'm back at the web interface login.

Just happened to me again and this time I'm sure. Posted the above "1 hour ago" according to the posting, and just went to refresh a graph and nothing happened -- no spinning disk, nothing. So refreshed the page and, voila, I was back to the login.

I had been interpreting the limit as 120 minutes of idle. But maybe it's literally 120 minutes from login -- even if you're in the middle of doing something. I'd suggest removing the limit or allowing it to bump up to 1000 minutes if that's the case.
