Sir In last few days we are facing an interesting problem with our Sophos Firewall version SG310. And we are using above mentioned firewall in last 1 year since then we haven’t faced such problem.

And we are using Oracle software for our banking transaction system. Namely Flex Cube and OBIE. And we have created a group for the mentioned software, but once we accidently restart our Sophos firewall since then some of our users cannot connect to the database through Sophos policy then we have to remove them and recreate them again in the group then they start working.

 

So we have search to find out if someone ales mighty have such issue but we couldn’t reach out the sulotion.so I would like to request one of your Sophos expert to solve this issue for us that our users not to face such problem in the future.

Hope we get some guidance and assistance from your experts in sooner time

  • Hello, Nabi, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What version are you using - 9.353?  Please consult #1 in Rulz and show a line representative of these blocks.  Where is the group that you delete and re-add members - in Active Directory?  Which "Sophos Policy" do you suspect is causeing the problem?

    Cheers - Bob

  • Please have below Detail about My Sophos UTM .
    Firmware version:9.352-6
    Pattern version: 95001
    Sophos Model is :SG310
  • First, I want to suggest that you Up2Date to 9.353 at your earliest convenience.

    Please click on 'Use rich formatting' and insert pictures of the edit of these two groups. Also, pictures of the Web Filtering Policies for these groups open in edit.

  • Dear Sir,

    as you advised me  i update my Sophos to 9.353 and also as you request both group screenshot . please have as below .

  • I think I see this now. Instead of having both Network Groups together in the Default Webfilter Profile, make a separate Web Filtering Profile and a separate Filter Action for each group. Each user (IP address) only can be in one group, so you may need to make more groups, Profiles and Filter Actions.

    If the Firewall rule for the Flex-Cube group is different from the other two rules, please insert a picture of it.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Dear sir,

    I only add to group in web protection policy  one is  Internet access Group and the other one is IT Group IT group is allowd  from any to  any and  internet access group is allowed   from any to web browser  .but when i add user to both group issue is the same  ..

    and also Flex Cure users  is allow from Flex cube use to web browsers as below and also flex cube user have only local access in local network as below .

  • ".but when i add user to both group issue is the same .."

    You cannot have the same IP in two groups in Web Filtering. Please show a line from the log file where a user was blocked that should not have been.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Dear sir,

    I Search in Log & Reports but i can not find the Logs File, so Please can you tell me from where i can find Log files .and if you want team Viewer access i will give the user and Password then you can check it .
    Note: after up2Date Sophos to 9.353 and change the group still issue not solved .
  • Rather than dig through the log for something that happened in the last days, open the Web Filtering Live Log. Activate it at the bottom of the 'Global' tab in 'Web Filtering'. Give it a moment to initialize and then try your access. Please let us know your result.

    Cheers - Bob

  • let me make sure i understood this correctly:

    you have 2 user groups; 1 group can access the database but not in the internet, 1 group can access the database AND the internet?

    and the problem is that once you want to allow both database AND internet than nothing can be accessed?

    Why even use Web Protection for the Database Access? 

    Feel free to send me a PM with a skype or messenger contact, can have a look with Teamviewer. We use a simillar setup at my work place but not with two usersgroups in the webfilter.
