SSL deep inspection client-cert-request

I have an SSL inspection profile set to deep-inspection.

What does this option actually do to the SSL handshake? And will the Fortigate still be able to inspect the traffic?

"set client-cert-request bypass"

    Hi

    By default, those SSL sessions using  "client-certificates"  bypass the SSL inspection.

    You could also control that using inspect or block the traffic

    Hi :) Okay, I have changed the SSL inspection on HTTPS from 443 to all ports, and this also disabled the bypass setting for client-certificates. I see I can change it in the CLI under "config ssl".

     

    Thanks!
