Sophos Mobile Control (in Sophos Central)
19.5 Configure a connection to the internal EAS proxy server
1. On the menu sidebar, under SETTINGS, click Setup > System setup.
2. On the System setup page, click the EAS proxy tab.
3. In the Internal section, enter the Exchange or groupware server URL in the
Exchange/groupware server URL text field.
4. Select Use SSL to use a secure connection.
5. Select Allow EWS subscription requests from Secure Email 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.
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.
6. Click Check connection to test the connection.
A message will be displayed if the server can be accessed.
7. Click Save.
19.6 Configure a connection to the external EAS proxy server
To configure the connection between Sophos Mobile Control and the standalone EAS proxy, you upload the certificate of the EAS proxy server to Sophos Mobile Control. The certificate was generated when you configured the EAS proxy instance.
For information on the installation and configuration of the standalone EAS proxy, see Standalone
EAS proxy (page 185).
Important: If the EAS proxy service is started before you have uploaded the certificate, Sophos
Mobile Control rejects the connection to the server and the service fails to start.
To upload the certificate of the external EAS proxy:
1. On the menu sidebar, under SETTINGS, click Setup > System setup, and then click the EAS
proxy tab.
2. In the External section, click Upload a file and navigate to the certificate file.
If you have set up more than one EAS proxy instance, repeat this for all instances.
3. Click Save.
4. In Windows, open the Services dialog and restart the EASProxy service.
