2 About Sophos Mobile Control
Sophos Mobile Control
Sophos Mobile Control is a management tool for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and also for Windows 10 desktop devices. It helps to keep corporate data safe by managing apps and security.
The Sophos Mobile Control system consists of a server and a client component.
The server is the core component of the Sophos Mobile Control product. It provides a web interface to administer Sophos Mobile Control and to manage the enrolled devices.
The client is an app to be installed onto the devices. It supports over-the-air setup and configuration through the web interface of the Sophos Mobile Control server.
With the Sophos Mobile Control Self Service Portal for your users, you can reduce IT effort by allowing users to enroll devices on their own and to carry out other tasks without contacting the helpdesk.
Sophos Mobile Control can also be used to manage the Sophos Mobile Security, Sophos Secure
Workspace and Sophos Secure Email mobile apps. This requires an SMC Advanced license.
Sophos Mobile Security
Sophos Mobile Security is a security app for Android devices. Using up-to-the-minute intelligence from SophosLabs, your apps will be automatically scanned as you install them. This antivirus functionality protects you from malicious software which can lead to data loss and unexpected costs.
Sophos Secure Workspace
Sophos Secure Workspace is an app for Android and iOS devices that provides a secure workspace where you can browse, manage, edit, share, encrypt and decrypt documents from various storage providers or distributed by your company. It is designed to prevent any data loss even when your device is lost or stolen or when you send a document to an unintended destination.
Files can be decrypted and viewed in a seamless way. Files that are handed over by other apps can be encrypted and either uploaded to one of the supported cloud storage providers or stored locally within Sophos Secure Workspace.
With Sophos Secure Workspace you can read files encrypted by SafeGuard Cloud Storage or
SafeGuard Data Exchange. Both are modules of SafeGuard Enterprise or one of its different editions.

5 Standalone EAS proxy
You can set up an EAS proxy to control the access of your managed devices to an email server.
Email traffic of your managed devices is routed through that proxy. You can block email access for devices, for example a device that violates a compliance rule.
The devices must be configured to use the EAS proxy as email server for incoming and outgoing emails. The EAS proxy will only forward traffic to the actual email server if the device is known in
Sophos Mobile Control and matches the required policies. This guarantees higher security as the email server does not need to be accessible from the Internet and only devices that are authorized
(correctly configured, for example with passcode guidelines) can access it. Also, you can configure the EAS proxy to block access from specific devices.
There are two types of EAS proxy:
■ The internal EAS proxy that is automatically installed with Sophos Mobile Control. It supports incoming ActiveSync traffic as used by Microsoft Exchange or IBM Notes Traveler for iOS and
Samsung Knox devices.
■ A standalone EAS proxy that can be downloaded and installed separately. It communicates with the Sophos Mobile Control server through an HTTPS web interface.
Note: For performance reasons, we recommend you use the standalone EAS proxy server instead of the internal version when email traffic for more than 500 client devices must be managed.
Features
The standalone EAS proxy has additional features compared to the internal version:
■ Support for IBM Notes Traveler for non-iOS devices (for example, Android). The Traveler client for these devices uses a protocol (not ActiveSync) that is not supported by the internal EAS proxy.
■
■
Support for multiple Microsoft Exchange or IBM Notes Traveler email servers. You can set up one EAS proxy instance per email server.
Load balancer support.You can set up standalone EAS proxy instances on several computers and then use a load balancer to distribute the client requests among them.
■
■
Support for certificate-based client authentication.You can select a certificate from a certification authority (CA), from which the client certificates must be derived.
Support for email access control through PowerShell. In this scenario, the EAS proxy service communicates with the email server through PowerShell to control the email access of your managed devices. Email traffic happens directly from the devices to the email server and is
not routed through a proxy. See Set up email access control through PowerShell
(page 18).
Note: For non-iOS devices, filtering abilities of the standalone EAS proxy are limited due the specifics of the IBM Notes Traveler protocol. Traveler clients on non-iOS devices do not send the device ID with every request. Requests without a device ID are still forwarded to the Traveler server, even though the EAS proxy is not able to verify that the device is authorized.

Sophos Mobile Control
5.1 Usage scenarios for the standalone EAS proxy
Note: Additional to the information provided in this section, the Sophos Mobile Control deployment guide contains schematic diagrams for the integration of the standalone EAS proxy into your company’s infrastructure. We recommend that you observe that information before performing the installation and deployment of the standalone EAS proxy.
A standalone EAS proxy server should be used for the following scenarios.
You use IBM Notes Traveler (formerly IBM Lotus Notes Traveler) for non-iOS devices
The internal EAS proxy is not suitable for this scenario because it only supports the ActiveSync protocol, which is used by Microsoft Exchange and by IBM Notes Traveler for iOS devices. IBM
Notes Traveler for non-iOS devices (for example, Android) uses a different protocol that is supported by the standalone EAS proxy.
For non-iOS devices, dedicated Traveler client software is required. This software is available through <traveler-server>/servlet/traveler or the Traveler file system. The Install App and Uninstall App features of Sophos Mobile Control can be used to install and uninstall the
Traveler client software. Configuration has to be performed manually.
You want to support multiple backend servers
With the standalone EAS proxy you can set up multiple instances of backend email systems.
Each instance needs an incoming TCP port. Each port can connect to a different backend. You need one URL per EAS proxy instance.
You want to set up load balancing for EAS
You can set up standalone EAS proxy instances on several computers and then use a load balancer to distribute the client requests among them.
For this scenario an existing load balancer for HTTP is required.
You want to use client certificate based authentication
For this scenario an existing PKI is required and the public part of the CA certificate has to be set in the EAS proxy.
You need to manage more than 500 devices
For performance reasons, we recommend you use the standalone EAS proxy server instead of the internal version when email traffic for more than 500 client devices must be managed.

3. In the SMC Server configuration dialog, enter the URL of the SMC server that the EAS proxy will connect with.
You should also select Use SSL for incoming connections (Clients to EAS Proxy) to secure the communication between clients and the EAS proxy.
Optionally, select Use client certificates for authentication if you want the clients to use a certificate in addition to the EAS proxy credentials for authentication. This adds an additional layer of security to the connection.
Select Allow all certificates if your Sophos Mobile Control server presents varying certificates to the EAS proxy, for example because there are several server instances behind a load balancer, and each instance uses a different certificate. When this option is selected, the EAS proxy will accept any certificate from the Sophos Mobile Control server.
Important: Because the Allow all certificates option reduces the security level of the server communication, we strongly recommend that you select it only if required by your network environment.

5.4 Set up email access control through PowerShell
You can set up a PowerShell connection to an Exchange or an Office 365 server. This means that the EAS proxy service communicates with the email server through PowerShell to control the email access for your managed devices. Email traffic is routed directly from the devices to the email server. It is not routed through a proxy.
Note: For a schematic of the PowerShell communication, see the Sophos Mobile Control deployment guide .
The PowerShell scenario has these advantages:
■ Devices communicate directly with the Exchange server.
■ You do not need to open a port on your server for incoming email traffic from your managed devices.
Supported email servers are:
■ Exchange Server 2010
■
■
Exchange Server 2013
Exchange Server 2016
■ Office 365 with an Exchange Online plan
To set up PowerShell:
1. Configure PowerShell.
2. Create a service account on the Exchange server or in Office 365. This account is used by
Sophos Mobile Control to execute PowerShell commands.
3. Set up one or more PowerShell connection instances to Exchange or Office 365.
4. Upload the instance certificates to Sophos Mobile Control.
Configure PowerShell
1. On the computer on which you are going to install the EAS proxy, open Windows PowerShell, as an administrator, and enter:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Note: If PowerShell is not available, install it as described in the Microsoft article Installing
Windows PowerShell (external link) .
2. If you want to connect to a local Exchange server, open Windows PowerShell as administrator on that computer and enter the same command as before:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Note: This step is not required for Office 365.
Create a service account
3. Log in to the relevant admin console:
■ For Exchange Server 2010: Exchange Management Console
installation guide
■
■
For Exchange Server 2013/2016: Exchange Admin Center
For Office 365: Office 365 Admin Center
4. Create a user account. This account is used as a service account by Sophos Mobile Control to execute PowerShell commands.
■ Use a user name like smc_powershell that identifies the account purpose.
■
■
Turn off the setting to make the user change their password the next time they log in.
Remove any Office 365 license that was automatically assigned to the new account. Service accounts don’t require a license.
5. Create a new role group and assign it the required permissions.
■ Use a role group name like smc_powershell .
■
■
Add the Mail Recipients and Organization Client Access roles.
Add the service account as a member.
Set up PowerShell connections
6. Use the Sophos Mobile Control EAS Proxy - Setup Wizard as if you would set up a standalone EAS Proxy. In wizard step EAS Proxy instance setup, configure the following settings:
■
■
■
■
■
Instance type: Select PowerShell Exchange/Office 365.
Instance name: A name to identify the instance.
Exchange server: The name or IP address of the Exchange server (for a local Exchange server installation) or outlook.office365.com
(for Office 365). Don’t include a prefix https:// or a suffix /powershell . These are added automatically.
Allow all certificates: The certificate that the Exchange server presents is not verified.
Use this for example if you have a self-signed certificate installed on your Exchange server.
Because the Allow all certificates option reduces the security level of the server communication, we strongly recommend that you select it only if required by your network environment.
Allow EWS subscription requests from Secure Email: Select this to allow the Sophos
Secure Email app on iOS to subscribe to push notifications through Exchange Web Services
(EWS). Push notifications inform the device when there are messages for Secure Email, even if the app is closed.
Note: By default, the EAS proxy blocks all requests to the Exchange server’s EWS interface for security reasons. If you select this checkbox, subscription requests are allowed. Other requests remain blocked.
■
■
Service account: The name of the user account you created in the Exchange or Office
365 admin console.
Password: The password of the user account.
7. Click Add to add the instance to the Instances list.
8. Optional: Repeat the previous steps to set up PowerShell connections to other Exchange or
Office 365 servers.

6 Load balancing and high availability
Sophos Mobile Control (SMC) makes it possible to set up a high-availability environment. This ensures that the SMC service remains externally accessible and tasks can be further processed even after failure of a Sophos Mobile Control node. To achieve this, load balancing, that distributes client and browser sessions by using DNS Round Robin to the available nodes, is required.
The following describes setting up clustering for Sophos Mobile Control and configuring load balancing with Sophos UTM.
6.1 Requirements
■
■
■
■
One separate Windows server for each Sophos Mobile Control node.
All nodes must be on the same network.
One Microsoft SQL or MySQL database server or cluster.
Sophos UTM or Apache Reverse Proxy (mod_proxy) for load balancing. Load balancer must support permanent session cookies and official SSL web server certificates.
Note: For detailed information about the installation requirements see the Sophos Mobile Control 7 release notes and the Sophos Mobile Control installation prerequisites form .
Architecture
For an example of a three-node Sophos Mobile Control cluster see the Sophos Mobile Control deployment guide .
For multicast communication between the individual Sophos Mobile Control nodes, optionally a separate network can be used. The network interface to be used can be selected during cluster configuration, as described in
(page 22). It may also be a VLAN.
Note: If you want to operate a second Sophos Mobile Control cluster for test purposes, a separate network is needed.
Ports and protocols
The following table shows the required ports and protocols for communication between the individual nodes of a Sophos Mobile Control server cluster.

Server certificates
When you set up Sophos Mobile Control, you configure an SSL web server certificate that allows the Sophos Mobile Control app to establish a secure connection to the Sophos Mobile Control server. We recommend that you use a certificate that is issued by a globally trusted certificate authority (CA). In a clustered environment with several SMC server nodes behind a load balancer, this might not be practical. You might want to use a self-signed certificate instead. Sophos Mobile
Control supports self-signed certificates, but the following restrictions apply:
■
■
If you use a self-signed certificate or a certificate that is issued by your own certificate authority
(CA), you must manually install that self-signed certificate or your CA certificate on your devices before you enroll them with Sophos Mobile Control. If you do not do this, the Sophos Mobile
Control app will not trust your server and will refuse to connect. Certificates issued by a globally trusted CA do not require this manual installation.
You cannot install Android apps from APK files that are hosted on the Sophos Mobile Control server if you use a self-signed certificate or a certificate that is issued by your own CA.
6.2 Set up cluster nodes
To set up a clustered environment you install the first node as described in
Sophos Mobile Control server (page 9). Clustering itself is then activated using the Configuration
Wizard.
For all other nodes, the database created during installation of the first node has to be selected and clustering has to be activated.
Note: It is also possible to configure an existing SMC server for clustering and to extend the environment by adding additional nodes.
6.2.1 Set up the first node
when installing further nodes.
2. At the end of the installation deselect the Start Sophos Mobile Control server now option in the Sophos Mobile Control - Installation finished dialog.
Note: If the SMC service has already been started it will automatically be stopped and restarted during the configuration described later in this section. Alternatively, you can manually stop the service from the menu of the Sophos Mobile Control system tray icon.
3. On the server, click Start, go to Sophos Mobile Control and click Configuration Wizard.

4. The Welcome page of the Sophos Mobile Control Configuration Wizard is displayed. Click
Next.
5. On the Database Selection page, select Skip database configuration and click Next.
6. On the Choose configuration steps page, select Configure cluster support and click Next.
7. On the Cluster Configuration page, use the drop-down list of available network interfaces to select the interface that will be used for multicast communication between the server node that you are about to set up and the other nodes.
8. Click through the remaining pages of the configuration wizard. Make sure that you click Yes when asked to start the SMC service.
The configuration of the first SMC server node is now complete. Click Finish in the Sophos
Mobile Control - Configuration Wizard finished dialog.
6.2.2 Set up further nodes
1. Start the installation of Sophos Mobile Control as described in Install and set up the Sophos
(page 9).
2. On the Database selection page, select the database you created when you installed the first node and click Next.
The Database configuration dialog box is displayed. It shows the progress of the configuration process.
3. On the Database configuration page, wait until the configuration process has finished, then click Next.
4. On the Choose configuration steps page, select Configure cluster support and click Next.
5. On the Configure server certificate page, create a self-signed certificate as described in
Install and set up the Sophos Mobile Control server
(page 9) and click Next.
6. On the Cluster Configuration page, use the drop-down list of available network interfaces to select the interface of the Sophos Mobile Control server node that you are about to set up, then click Next.
7. Click through the remaining pages of the configuration wizard. On the Sophos Mobile Control
- Installation finished page, select Start Sophos Mobile Control server now to start the cluster node that you just configured.
The configuration of the SMC node is now complete. If required, repeat this procedure to configure additional nodes.
6.3 Set up load balancing with Sophos UTM
This topic describes how to set up Sophos UTM as a load balancer for a cluster of Sophos Mobile
Control server nodes. For more information on configuring Sophos UTM, see the Sophos UTM documentation.
Note:
■ In order to use Sophos UTM for clustering you need a Sophos UTM license with a Sophos
Webserver Protection subscription.
■ As described later in this section, you need to specify a certificate to protect the communication between the managed devices and the virtual web server that you set up in Sophos UTM. For
23
Sophos Mobile Control simplicity, we recommend that you use the same certificate that you used for the Sophos
Mobile Control server (see
Request an SSL certificate for Sophos Mobile Control
(page 8)).
If you used a self-signed certificate, it is mandatory that you use that same certificate.
1. Log into Sophos UTM WebAdmin.
2. From the WebAdmin menu section Webserver Protection, go to the Web Application
Firewall > Real Webservers tab.
3. Click New Real Webserver to create an SMC node.
4. In the Add Real Webserver dialog, enter the following settings: a) Name: Enter a descriptive name for the web server (for example SMC node ).
b) Host: Select or add a host. Select a host by clicking the folder symbol next to the host edit field. Drag a host from the list of available hosts into the Host edit field.
For additional information on how to add a definition, see the topic Network Definitions in the UTM Administration Guide .
c) Type: Select Encrypted (HTTPS).
Click Save to save the configuration.
Repeat the previous step for each Sophos Mobile Control server node.
5. From the WebAdmin menu section Webserver Protection, go to the Certificate
Management > Certificates tab.
6. Click New Certificate to upload an SSL web server certificate.
7. In the Add Certificate dialog, enter the following settings: a) Name: Enter a descriptive name for the certificate.
b) Method: Select Upload.
c) File type: Select PKCS#12(Cert+CA) d) Password: Enter the password for your certificate file.
e) File: Click the folder icon next to the File box, select the certificate you want to upload and click Start Upload.
Click Save to save the configuration. The certificate is added to the Certificates list.
8. From the WebAdmin menu section Webserver Protection, go to the Web Application
Firewall > Virtual Webservers tab.
9. Click New Virtual Webserver to add a virtual web server for the cluster.
10. In the Add Virtual Webserver dialog box, make the following settings: a) Name: Enter a descriptive name for the virtual web server (for example SMC cluster ).
b) In the Interface list, select the WAN interface over which the cluster should be accessible from outside.
c) Type: Select Encrypted (HTTPS) & redirect.
d) In the Certificate list, select the web server’s certificate you uploaded beforehand.
e) Domains (only with wildcard certificate, that is a public key certificate that can be used with multiple subdomains): Enter the domains the web server is responsible for, for example shop.example.com
, or use the Action icon to import a list of domain names.
24
installation guide
Domains must be entered as fully qualified domain names (FQDN).
You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard for the domain prefix, for example,
*.mydomain.com
. Domains with wildcards are considered as fallback settings: The virtual web server with the wildcard domain entry is only used when no other virtual web server with a more specific domain name is configured.
Example: A client request to a.b.c
will match a.b.c
before *.b.c
before *.c
.
f) Real Webservers: Select the SMC nodes you created beforehand.
Important: Do not select a firewall profile.
Click Save to save the configuration. The server is added to the Virtual Webservers list.
11. Enable the virtual web server.
The new virtual web server is disabled by default. Click the toggle switch to enable the virtual web server. The toggle switch color should change from gray (disabled) to green (enabled).
12. Go to the Site Path Routing tab.
13. In the Virtual Webservers list, go to the virtual web server you added and click Edit.
14. In the Edit Site Path Route dialog box, click Advanced and select Enable sticky session
cookie.
Click Save to save the configuration.

7 Update Sophos Mobile Control
Sophos Mobile Control server installations can be updated directly from versions 6 or 6.1 to 7.
Older versions need to be updated to version 6 beforehand. For details, see the Sophos Mobile
Control 6 documentation.
To update your Sophos Mobile Control server installation to version 7, start the Sophos Mobile
Control 7 installer and follow the instructions. The installer automatically detects if an existing installation needs to be updated to version 7.
A system property check will be performed before the update starts. If all checks are passed you can proceed with the update. Database and files will be updated automatically without any user interaction. Once the update is complete, the Sophos Mobile Control service will be started again.
Note: If you used Windows Authentication during your initial Sophos Mobile Control server installation the Start Sophos Mobile Control server now option is grayed out. You have to start the service manually.

8.1 Sophos Mobile Control server features
The core component of the Sophos Mobile Control product is the Sophos Mobile Control server.
Its main features include:
■
■
The server is connected to the Internet.
The server makes it possible to set up a high-availability environment.
■
■
■
■
■
The administrator controls the server using the web interface.
End users can register their devices by using the Self Service Portal, or get a device from the administrator that has already been prepared for auto-enrollment.
The managed devices synchronize with the server through HTTPS.
iOS clients get triggered by the server through APNs, Android clients through GCM. Windows devices use the Windows Notification Service (WNS).
You can use an existing Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL database to store device and application information. Alternatively, you can let the Sophos Mobile Control installer create a new database using Microsoft SQL Server Express.
■
■
The database can reside on the same or a separate computer. This allows the use of database clusters.
The server supports multi-tenant setups to allow different customers on the same server.
■ Email access is possible through an integrated or a standalone EAS proxy. For the standalone variant, HTTPS access to the SMC server is required.
The Sophos Mobile Control server has been developed for Java EE (Enterprise Edition). It installs and runs in the well-tested industry-standard WildFly application server.
The server may be installed in virtualized environments.
8.2 Sophos Mobile Control web interfaces
8.2.1 Mobile Control administration interface
Sophos Mobile Control is managed through a web interface that is secured by a login and a session mechanism. You can implement password policies. Access control allows different user roles. These roles have different sets of access rights. Each user can be assigned exactly one role.
For further information, see the Sophos Mobile Control administrator help .
