5 Configure system settings
When you log in to Sophos Mobile Admin for the first time after installation, the First steps wizard assists you in configuring system settings.
You must provide the following:
• The address of your HTTP proxy server (if applicable).
• Your license key for Sophos Mobile.
• Your SSL/TLS certificates.
• The credentials for your SMTP server.
Note
You can change all settings later under Setup > Sophos setup.
1. On the HTTP proxy page, enter the address and port of a proxy server to be used for outbound
HTTP and SSL/TLS connections.
2. On the License page, enter your license key or request a trial license:
• Standard license key: Enter your Mobile Standard license key and click Activate.
• Advanced license key: Enter your Mobile Advanced license key and click Activate. You must enter a Mobile Standard license key first.
• Request trial: Enter the email address you used to download the Sophos Mobile installer from the Sophos website.
3. On the SSL/TLS page, configure the SSL/TLS certificates used for securing the connections between the Sophos Mobile server and the clients.
a) Click Auto-discover certificate(s).
In most cases the auto-discover function can discover the certificates currently in use.
b) If the certificates are not discovered automatically, upload them manually: Click Upload a file and select the relevant CER or DER encoded certificate file.
You can configure up to four certificates because, depending on your network architecture, different certificates may be in use for clients connecting from the internet or from your local intranet. The Sophos Mobile server will communicate the list of certificates to the clients. On establishing an SSL or TLS connection, the clients will only trust the server if the presented certificate is included in the list (“Certificate pinning”).
CAUTION
Update the certificate list when you have changed or renewed SSL certificates. At any given time, at least one valid certificate must be available. Otherwise the clients will not trust the server and will not connect to it.
4. On the SMTP page, configure the SMTP server information and logon credentials. SMTP must be configured to enable emails to be sent to new users, providing them with logon credentials. It also needs to be configured to enable enrollment through email.
Option
SMTP host
Description
The SMTP server address.
Copyright © Sophos Limited 5

Mobile administrator help .
Sophos Mobile will send error emails, for example when an
APNs certificate expires.
Enter email addresses of the recipients that will receive error emails.
Note
Sophos Mobile does not support the OAUTH mechanism for SMTP authentication. Email providers that prefer OAUTH (like for example Google Gmail) might classify sign-in attempts from Sophos Mobile as insecure.
5. After you’ve configured the SMTP information, click Send test email to verify the email configuration.
6. Click Finish to complete the First steps wizard.

14 Compliance policies
With compliance policies you can:
• Allow, forbid or enforce certain features of a device.
• Define actions that are executed when a compliance rule is violated.
You can create different compliance policies and assign them to device groups. This allows you to apply different levels of security to your managed devices.
Tip
If you are planning to manage both corporate and private devices, we recommend that you define separate compliance policies for at least these two device types.
14.1 Create compliance policy
1. On the menu sidebar, under CONFIGURE, click Compliance policies.
2. On the Compliance policies page, click Create compliance policy, and then select the template the policy will be based on:
• Default template: A selection of compliance rules, with no actions defined.
• PCI template, HIPAA template: Compliance rules and actions based on the HIPAA and the
PCI DSS security standard, respectively.
Your choice of template doesn’t restrict your subsequent configuration options.
3. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the compliance policy.
Repeat the following steps for all required platforms.
4. Make sure that the Enable platform check box on each tab is selected.
If this check box is not selected, devices of that platform are not checked for compliance.
5. Under Rule, configure the compliance rules for the particular platform.
For a description of the available rules for each device type, click Help in the page header.
Note
Each compliance rule has a fixed severity level (high, medium, low) that is depicted by a blue icon. The severity helps you to assess the importance of each rule and the actions you should implement when it is violated.
18
Note
For devices where Sophos Mobile manages the Sophos container instead of the whole device, only a subset of compliance rules is applicable. In Highlight rules, select a management type to highlight the rules that are relevant.
6. Under If rule is violated, define the actions that will be taken when a rule is violated:
Option
Deny email
Description
Forbid email access.

22 Import users
After you have tested device enrollment through the Self Service Portal, you can import your user list into Sophos Mobile.
The import of users is only relevant for internal user management. For external user management, all users that are assigned to a certain LDAP group can log in to the system.
For information on external user management, see the Sophos Mobile super administrator guide.
You can import up to 500 users.
If you specify a group that doesn’t exist, Sophos Mobile creates it.
The CSV file must have the following specification:
• The first row is treated as a header and is not imported.
• Values must be separated by semicolon, not by comma.
• All rows must have the correct number of semicolon characters, even if you leave out optional values.
• The file extension must be .csv
.
• To ensure that non-English characters are imported correctly, the file must be UTF-8 encoded.
Tip
On the Import users page, select Example CSV to download a sample file.
To import users from a CSV file:
1. On the menu sidebar, under MANAGE, select People.
2. Select Import users.
3. On the Import users page, select Send registration emails.
4. Select Upload a file and then navigate to the CSV file you’ve prepared.
The entries are read in from the file and are displayed.
5. If the data is not formatted correctly or is inconsistent, the file as a whole cannot be imported. In this case, follow the error messages that are displayed next to the relevant entries, correct the content of the CSV file accordingly and upload it again.
6. Select Finish to create the user accounts.
The users are imported and displayed on the People page. They receive emails with their login credentials for the Self Service Portal.
