Ability to put mime types as trusted in local site list
Website's audio streaming cannot start when HTTPS scanning is enabled. Found that the stream is treated by SWA as mime type "Application/octet-stream" and when the site is put to Trusted in the Local Site List, the streaming can go on. Customer does not want to trust the whole site domain though. They want the AV to Trust only when its that mime-type so audio can go on BUT they want other parts of the site to be scanned.

Upstream proxy settings not copied across to other SWA managed by SMA
A Platinum customer has a large number of upstream proxy redirections which are set on the SWA5000. They wanted both SWA5000 and SWA5000b to have the same synced copy managed by the Management appliance.
The settings are found under Network/Hostname/Upstream Proxies/Advanced options.
It would be nice that upon joining the SMA1000 with the first appliance, that the option to upload the proxy list to the SMA1000 be allowed
and then for the SMA1000 to have a configuration area for the same to push out to all web appliances in the management pool.5 votes -
Allow individual users to be able to download certain extensions from individual websites
We would like to be able to allow individual or a group of users to be able to download a file type from a certain website only.
for example if ZIP files are blocked from being downloaded, however we have three users that often download from dropbox. We would like to allow these three users to be able to download ZIP files from dropbox only.

Email alert when a set threshold of High risk sites have been visited.
The appliance should generate an email alert when a threshold(configurable by the administrator) of High risk sites have been visited. This should take in account for sites categorized as High Risk by Sophos as well as if the user overrides the category via local site/additional policy.

Email Alert when traffic drops below threshold
We would like to have a new Email Alert Option for when web traffic (i.e concurrent users, throughput, latency, etc.) drops below a selectedThreshold during set hours.
If there is an error/misconfig in either PAC file or GPO settings that is supposed to direct endpoints to the Gateway, traffic will gradually start dropping and it could be days or weeks before the error is discovered. This could lead to a malicious download that would have been blocked had the traffic correctly gone through the Gateway, as happened to us.
An email alert for this reduction in traffic will enable administrators…

realtime website browsing alerts
Being aware in real time of visited web sites that have malicious code, virus’s or other security issues means we can react quicker to block these sites at the appliance.
If a site has been infected then blocking it before access is paramount as other yet unknown and undetectable infections may also reside on that site. In much the same way as SAV alerts in real time, having admins informed of infections in real time is critical.4 votes -
Add the possibility to create local user
Allows the option on Sophos Web Appliance to create and manage local user. In some case, it is not possible to create AD user so a way to create local user on Sophos Web Gateway is needed.

Finer grain control for report scheduler - Web appliance
On the Management/Web appliance you can schedule reports, but there are only report packages. Can you add the ability to specify more custom reports (eg. Only "Top bandwidth Users") and not the whole "package".

Allow downloading large files with non-browser tools
There should be a way to make large download work with tools like wget or whatever software is unable to display the "scanning message" in a browser window
For example downloading a 700 MB file with wget hangs atHTTP request sent, awaiting response...
And stays this way until the appliance has downloaded and scanned the file and starts streaming it to the client
Many other software will just timeout after the while and athe only way to make them work is to bypass the appliance all togheter, making it pointless.
Sophos support told me to add the sites to…

Adding sophos_log for incomplete request with tag TCP_MISS
getting alerts from sophos UTM firewall, saying that the web appliance has attempted to download from a restricted site.
If the web appliance logged the failed requests as well as the successful ones, we might be able to track down which client tried to get to the malicious site.2 votes -
Allows visibility and management of huge file downloads where limited resources are available.
Allows visibility and management of huge file downloads where limited resources are available. The request is to provide an end device configuration option so that
I can turn off the feature that downloads large files to the appliance first and then the end user pulls that file to their local machine. During the download to the appliance I have no mechanism to determine who is downloading to large files.1 vote -
Enabling the web appliance to give customized information on the approval page
Enabling the web appliance to give customized information on the approval page will allow for IT Managers to create automated workflow to send requests to specific managers of various departments
in order to allow department managers to directly know what is going on “only” with the users they care about, and thus approve web site pages accordingly. This will allow for business automation workflow and prevent unnecessary emails to users who have no
authorization to approve.1 vote -
Simplify authentication exceptions
When creating an exception on the UTM you can configure a single exception of domain.com. This will apply to: domain.com, www.domain.com, subdomain.domain.com and domain.com:443.
On the web appliance you are required to manually configure an entry for each of these which increases the management overhead.
Could the behaviour of the WSA be updated to match the UTM?
