(In our case it's all flash items - first noticed on the countdown timer)

We've had exactly the same thing happen - started on Thursday for all staff (common image and flash - happens with a fresh image too, even though that previously worked - so unless flash updated itself really quickly... I'm stumped). Is this possibly the same thing or do they just share symptoms?

Hi, We're using "Redirect users to SSL login page (with session cookie)" and transparent proxying on Smoothwall for our iPads - this seems to work fine when we're in Safari. However, it *appears* that when we use an App the connection can be dropped, but if we then reopen Safari and go back to the the App the connection resumes. Is there any other solution other than setting the global time before logging off after inactivity higher? (That risks the student forgetting to log out and someone else continuing using their login session). It's a pity Smoothwall don't have an authorization app - it would allow you to expressly authenticate yourself to Smoothwall, and expressly logoff, and keep itself alive periodically. If the device were powered off, then it would expect the user to reauthenticate when the iPad was powered back on. I'm starting to *really* dislike iPads - I'm travelling down so many dead ends trying to resolve the issues we're having with them. (They're fine for 1:1 usage, which we've always known, but finding ways to share them *securely* is getting really frustrating.) Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to get our iPads up and running through Smoothwall and Airwatch. We've had the LA open up port 5223 for Apple "Push" Notifications (APNs), and that worked fine over our existing Smoothwall configuration using NTLM - we could push out apps etc from Airwatch. However, we needed an authentication method that allows the students to expressly log out (so that they can hand the iPad to another student who would then have to log in). We've set up a transparent proxy on another of our Smoothwall UTM's network ports, with SSL redirection, and we get prompted for the student's username and password, and when they finish they can logout. Safari works fine - there's a few issues with specific apps that we can resolve later. Does anyone know how we'd get port 5223 forwarded back and forth to the second network port (on its different address range) so that it can also receive APNs? Has anyone already used Airwatch and Smoothwall and found a different solution? Thanks.

P.S. I did read the sticky first, but the last post was in October last year.

I'm chasing around in circles trying to get a definitive answer to this - so hopefully someone can help me or point me in a clear direction... Can you purchase volume vouchers for the Apple iOS volume licensing in the UK? (In the US you can buy high value volume vouchers for the education volume licensing program, rather than using a credit card etc.) Does anyone have the contact details of someone who will be able to give a definitive answer? Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know how to set up full disk encryption so that "Pass through logon to Windows" is unchecked by default? There doesn't appear to be a setting in the "Sophos Enterprise Console" to configure this, and most of the instructions I find online don't deal with doing it from the console. Is it simply not possible, or am I missing something obvious? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
