(solved) FGT60D V 5.2.5 capable to scan antivirus in https?

Is the FGT60D V 5.2.5 capable to scan antivirus in https? I don't see any hints in the Antivirus Profile which point this out. When i take Proxy mode i see only the standard protocols but no https for example. In other words how can I see if FGT 60D can ssl-deep scan?

I think you are mixing up SSL Certificate Inspection and Full SSL Inspection.

SSL Certificate inspecition only looks at the Common Name of the certificate and uses this value to lookup the website category.

Full SSL inspection is acting as a man-in-the-middle proxy and analyzes the datastream.

 

Enable both a full ssl inspection profile and the antivirus profile on the outgoing policy and you should be able to catch the eicar https test file.

Hi Neobit,

thanks for the link but thats not exactly what I mean.

SSL-Inspection exists und is preselected with the default certificate from Fortinet.

 

But have a look at the attached picture.

I am missing the secured protocols like https.

 

The fact is when I download the Eicar Testfile with https nothing happens.

So i am not sure if the FGT60D be able to can scan https traffic?

 

May be i am mixed up ssl-deep scan with antivirus https scan.

Hi localhost, thanks for the helpful hint. You are absolutely right. If I select deep Inspection antivirus scans also the file inside https. In this case it is neccessary to import the proxy certificate otherwise the browser will not accept any ssl connections. Many thanks and merry christmas.
