Troubleshooting
Invalid Client ID or Client Secret
If authentication fails:
Ensure you copied the Client ID and Client Secret exactly as shown in Sophos.
Confirm there are no extra spaces before or after the values.
Verify that the credentials are active in Sophos Central.
If necessary, generate a new credential set and retry the integration.
Insufficient permissions error
If Sprinto cannot fetch data:
Confirm that the Service Principal Management role was selected when creating the API credentials.
Ensure your Sophos account has administrative privileges.
Verify that the API credentials are not restricted by additional role limitations.
Devices or users are not syncing
If data does not appear in Sprinto:
Check that devices are properly enrolled in Sophos Central.
Confirm users are associated with devices.
Allow a few minutes for the initial sync to complete.
Refresh the integration page or re-authenticate if required.
Revoking and reconnecting the integration
If issues persist:
Disconnect Sophos from Sprinto.
Regenerate API credentials in Sophos Central.
Reconnect using the new Client ID and Client Secret.
This ensures stale or invalid credentials do not block data sync.
