Question

SSL inspection problem - not all pages are inspected

Good morning.

I have a problem, maybe someone can help me.

I tested ssl and ssh connections on myself for testing. From the exclusions, I set only 2 categories proposed by forti, i.e. related to health, banking and finances. From the excluded pages section, I removed all the default pages. Unfortunately, I see on several pages, e.g. https://www.youtube.com, https://www.dobreprogramy.pl, that pages do not have the certificate changed by my FortiGate. In the remaining options I paid for blocking, but still nothing changed.

PS. I have firmware 7.0.5

 

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Longin.

Hi Longin,

 

It is most likely the ssl inspection profile used is a certificate inspection profile rather than deep inspection profile.

Hi Jin,
Thank you for your answer. I have the Inspection method set to Full SSL Inspection.
Generally, when I check the padlock on most sites, the exhibitor is my FortiGate, but not everywhere. I wonder why.

I don't really understand this SNI setting and set disable for testing. Overall, I have set my policy very strictly.

in attached photo you have a configuration with GUI SSL Inspection.PNG

 

Best regards,

Longin.

Hi Team,

 

 

Regarding the SNI setting:

Check the SNI in the client hello message with the CN or SAN fields in the returned server certificate.
enable: Check the SNI in the client hello message with the CN or SAN fields in the returned server certificate. If mismatched, use the CN in the server certificate to do URL filtering.
strict: Check the SNI in the client hello message with the CN or SAN fields in the returned server certificate. If mismatched, close the connection.
disable: Do not check the SNI in the client hello message with the CN or SAN fields in the returned server certificate.

 

You mentioned some websites in the pad lock not showing fortigate serial number. Usually this will happen only if the specific websites are under bypass list.

Could you please let us know the some website names which is happening?

Also, are you using flow based firewall policy or proxy based firewall policy?
