Thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion needs furher configuration:


I´m not sure what to configure there. Is it like this https://www.company.com/entry-URL ?

Hello there,

Yes to be able to use this option you will need to create a new exception for form hardening that applies to the URL identified in the reverseproxy.log. you can verify URL on advance shell /var/log/reverseproxy.log

Unfortunately it doesn´t solve the problem

Hello there, 

Good day. May you share your current configuration for this exception? 

Many thanks for your time and patience and thank you for choosing Sophos

Entry URL is https://test.company.com/ and will be forwarded to test.company.com/.../s=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Website opens and seems ok. Then we try to use an scheduler on this site and get url_hardening:error with:
- No signature found in Referer: https://test.company.com/abc/index.php/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Form validation failed: Received unhardened form data Received unhardened form data Referer: https://test.company.com/abc/index.php/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxx is dynamic

Result is: Forbidden, You don´t have permission to access this ressource

Hello there,

Good day and thanks for your patience on this, Could you add/check Form Hardening on 'Skip these checks' section? As to be able to use this option you will need to create a new exception for form hardening that applies to the URL identified in the reverseproxy.log >  to check the URL kindly use command on Shell tail -f /var/log/reverseproxy.log | grep "form_hardening:error"

If this above doesn't work could you share logs of tail -f /var/log/reversproxy.log during the access to the site to see if there's any other error information we could see. 

Many thanks for your time and patience and thank you for choosing Sophos.
