Additional information

Sophos SafeGuard synchronization of BitLocker and FileVault recovery keys

Users can display BitLocker and FileVault recovery keys for up to 10 computers that are assigned to them in Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise version 8 or higher.

To enable this feature for your users, select the Recovery via mobile option in the SafeGuard Management Center as described below:

1.       In the Sophos Mobile Control web console, go to System setup > SGN.

2.       Use the link on the SGN tab to download the certificate file of the Sophos Mobile control server.

3.       In the SafeGuard Management Center, go to Tools > Configuration Package Tool.

4.       On the Servers tab of the Configuration Package Tool, click Add, select the certificate and click OK. Do not change the Server name field.

5.       Also on the Servers tab, select Recovery via mobile to enable the synchronization of BitLocker and FileVault recovery keys with Sophos Secure Workspace.

6.       On the Managed client packages tab, select Managed Client (Default) as Configuration Package Name, select your SGN server as Primary Server, and then click Create Configuration Package.

7.       Use the Upload a file button on the SGN tab of the Sophos Mobile Control web console to upload the created configuration package zip file.

Note: For security reasons, the recovery keys (together with the other keys from the SafeGuard keyring) are removed from the device when it violates the compliance rules that you have configured in Sophos Mobile Control.

For detailed information on corporate keyring synchronization, see the Sophos Mobile Control administrator help.

Known issues

Browsing corporate websites that require authentication with self signed certificates does not work on iOS 10.0 and 10.1

With iOS 10.0 and 10.1, the iOS UIWebView component used by the corporate browser has a known bug that does not allow the authentication with self signed certificates for corporate websites. In this case, the site cannot be browsed. The issue is fixed in iOS 10.2.

Secure Workspace supports only default compression in 7zip format

Due to technical limitations of the third-party library used for 7zip, only files with default compression are supported.
