Question

fortiweb offline protection mode cannot inspect https traffic

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my FortiWeb 400E. it is deployed temporary in offline protection mode for some tests. it receives https traffic from a span port. I also imported my webserver certificate and add it in a server pool profile. I ran some simple attacks on https port of my webservice but FortiWeb can not scan or inspect https traffic or generate log to indicate https traffic inspected. I'm sure the certificate is imported correctly and the server pool profile is assigned in the appropriate policy. 

Is there anyone who have any idea about why FortiWeb doesn't inspect https traffic even the associated Certificate is added to it. Please tell me.

Hello

Actually I didn't try this mode but just in case you are using TLS 1.3 know that it is not supported in this mode. Many other features are also not supported that may have caused your issue. Please check below link if it can help.

Edit: Additionally in version 7.0.x, TLS 1.0 to 1.2 is supported but with limitations.
