SAML Authentication and Explicit Proxy

I'm having trouble configuring Explicit Proxy with SAML authentication;

Every webpage displays a certificate error:

 


If I click “Advanced,” it opens the Microsoft authentication page and I can access the internet, but I want it to be transparent, without displaying that error.

What could be causing this?

Your client doesn’t trust the signing CA, but it is not clear from your post which one is not trusted.

Try install Fortinet CA cert on your client/browser and try again, you can find it on your FortiGate > Certificate Management.
