Astaro ASG 8 and Microsoft Windows 7 Update

Hello
I have an ASG8 and since a while the Microsoft Windows 7 Update does not work anymore. An exception for Microsoft is configured with exception on extension blocking and ssl. But it is still not working. The Firewall runs in transparent mode with "Scan HTTPS (SSL) Traffic" enabled. Do I disable the "Scan HTTPS (SSL) Traffic" then Windows Update does work. 

Although in the Exception the skip "HTTPS Scanning - SSL scanning" is activated this does not help. Only the disabling of Scan HTTPS (SSL) Traffic.

Does somebody has a solution how configure the exception without having to disabling the Scan HTTPS (SSL) Traffic.

Thanks

Fischer

  • If i remeber correctly in transparent mode the exceptions are not considered - but the transparent mode skip list is. So try to add targets to be skipt there and try again.

    Regards

  • The Exceptions should apply, Manfred.  Fischer, if you want to work on this, please post the relavant line from the Web Filtering log.  Manfred's suggestion to use the transparent mode skip list should fix you up though.

    I also found a thread about it:
    https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/55/t/45544

    Do you have any solutions?

    Regards

  • Again, Manfred's recommendation should fix you up.  Also, William's in that thread you found should work.

    Any luck?

  • Hello Bob
    Thank you very much for your answer. But could you give me a hint how to only add MS to the exception list.
    Thanks again

  • Hi Heinrich,

    Add DNS Group definitions for download.microsoft.com and update.microsoft.com to 'Skip transparent mode destination hosts/nets'.
