Cache iCloud content denied because the source is not whitelisted

Recently discovered my server no longer caches iCloud data and returns this in the log, here's a sample.

Dec 11 17:39:53 Admin-Server AssetCache[230]: #e0mhTJz9dziT Request by "cloudd/481.8" for http://10.1.1.104:50167/Nb-p6VcBUY9TcCoAmh3q?x-client-request-id=8ADACC84-7024-4 BA5-B8FE-B4F41570B611&Expires=1449812093&byte-range=723666-2375501&AWSAccessKeyI d=AKIAI3LLM7P3DRGCUSIA&bin=204000001&Signature=1dRZk0CpRdYIaufPp8k%2FEfWEDjU%3D& source=ap-sin-00001.s3.amazonaws.com%3A80 denied because the source is not whitelisted

Caching still still works for iOS and OS X software.

Has anyone else come across this and found a fix?

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), OS X Server

Have discovered that having System Integrity Protection disabled prevents local network users iCloud data from being cached on the server.

Once enabling SIP, everything functioned as it used to.

Apps, iOS & OS X updates still cache regardless of SIP setting.

Hope this helps anyone in the same situation!

SIP appears to have had no effect, problem is still existent. Ignore previous post.

Has anybody found a fix or has talked to Apple about this issue?

It's also happening on my Server with current software versions.

Yeah I contacted apple about this soon as I first noticed it. Phone support was useless as they didn't understand the problem and dismissed it essentially. I put in a report via bug reporter but no response. i haven't found a work around or anything helpful yet. Out of interest, what county are you in?

Thomas, I got confirmation from Apple for the bug, but no solution.

"Engineering has determined that your bug report (xxxxxxxx) is a duplicate of another issue (xxxxxxxx) and will be closed."

The whitelisting problem seems to have been solved. Not with a software update either. I'm guessing it's backend type changes which apple decides which content hosts are black/white listed for use of iCloud personal data.
