*An important note about accessing SUM for the first time: There are two different “admin” GUI's – The traditional WebAdmin on port 4444 (eg. https://x.x.x.x:4444) is used for configuring the device, user accounts, and other administrative functions for the installation itself. The Gateway Manager on port 4422 (Eg. https://x.x.x.x:4422) is used to access the management, monitoring, reporting, and configuration of your connected sites. The Gateway Manager is where you will spend the majority of your time once you have SUM setup.

Once SUM is intially setup, (and with your UTM installations configured to connect to SUM, upon login to the Gateway Manager you will see the overview and status information for your connected installations. Besides information and monitoring there are many configuration features; you can define network and service objects, firewall rules, or web protection profiles, then issue them to some (or all) of your UTMs. Choose to make a VPN tunnel between two sites via a quick wizard, and run aggregated reports for any combination of locations.

Sophos UTM Manager 4 Feature Summary

• GUI in Sophos design: new UTM9-Style Sophos design.
• Simplified initial setup: after installation, SUM will now automatically accept connections from UTM devices from “any” network and the gateway manager will be already configured for the admin user. All you need to do by default to join a UTM to SUM is to configure the Central Management section of your UTM to point to SUM. (Security can be tightend to restrict access via source networks, add a password required for joining, and other measures via SUM WebAdmin)
• Global object import: Allow for importing objects from a UTM to SUM, where they can then be used as global objects. (Objects are not tied to the imported UTM.)
• Single Sign-On Redesign (username passthrough): The Single Sign-On mechanism now uses the two access roles used in SUM (admin, auditor). Also, login to the UTM is now done with the SUM for tracking purposes (instead of the old CM__admin/CM__audit).
• Scalability / Bandwidth Usage: You should notice significant savings in the amount of bandwidth consumed by your SUM and UTM installations for communicating.
• Global EP policy Management: You can now manage UTM Endpoint AntiVirus and Device-Control policies (UTM 9 features) from within SUM.
• Message Queue: A dedicated view shows a table of the most recent events on the SUM. Event can be anything that triggered a notification, along with SUM shutdown/restarts.
• Guid Setting: Allows you to set the guid of a device from SUM. This is useful for when an existing ASG/UTM is for example re-imaged, and reconnects to SUM with a new guid. The two devices can then be merged, such that in SUM there is only one device (with the old guid)
• Gateway manager login from WebAdmin: It is now possible to use the new “Gateway Manager” tab & button in SUM WebAdmin to be instantly taken to the SUM Gateway Manager
• Install on UTM Hardware: It is now possible to install SUM on UTM hardware appliances. (Note this will completely format and re-purpose the appliance as SUM, it will no longer be a UTM!) While SUM is designed to be installed on your own, dedicated hardware platform, virtual machine, or Amazon Cloud instance, you asked us to be able to run SUM on UTM appliance hardware, and we've enabled that.
