DLP with HTTPS v5.2.3

I have Fortigate 80c with latest firmware 5.2.3

DLP is configured to block exe files and SSL inspection works fine with Facebook & YouTube; however users are able to download exe files only from HTTPS

Which SSL inspection profile are you using, certificate-inspection or deep-inspection?

Albert,

You may want to enable FULL SSL Inspection to prevent downloading .exe files via HTTPS connections.

If I did that users will see warning on all links.

I agree, but if I'm not mistaken you can't inspect SSL/encrypted traffic without deep packet inspection enabled.  You will need a valid cert from your CA Server or push the Self-signed cert to all your clients via GPO or something.

The only way for DLP to be applied to HTTPS traffic is to use full SSL inspection, as is done in the deep-inspection profile. We have a recipe on the Fortinet Cookbook about preventing certificate warnings that could help you out once you do use it.

Ok, I get now but what if I have guest. there should be a simple way rather than install certificate on each computer.

Holy

AD GPO or if you already have a PKI infrastrukture just generate an CSR with your fortinet an let it sign by your root.
