Fortigate as Web-Proxy

Hi guys,

 

today i setup web proxy feature on my fortigate, and its working as expected. i cannot browsing to internet without setting my browser proxy. but i found a problem when i open my outlook, which is everytime i open my outlook a certificate prompt always shows up and even i have install the certificate the certificate prompt keeps pop ups when i re-open the outlook, but when i disable proxy setting on control panel i can open outlook without any problem. is this problem comes from the fortigate or not ? need advice 

 

thanks and best regards

What kind of mail provider is behind the outlook mailbox? Exchange or an external provider?

Are you using a deep inspection SSL inspection profile?

When using SSL deep inspection you need to import the CA certificate of the FortiGate onto your client PC's.

To download the CA certificate you might need to add it to the GUI first.

 

Go to system -> config -> Features and turn on certificates

Go to system -> certificates and download the CA certificate.

 

Import it as a trusted root certificate on your client (google for instructions since it is different per OS and device)

 

NOTE: You might want to create a custom CA certificate to do do deep inspection since you are not sure if you can trust the pre installed one ;)

Hi

 

How do you configure your browser (wpad, proxy.pac or GPO) ?

 

Your exchange is in your LAN network ? if yes, you need to specify that destination traffic within the local network don't pass through your proxy.
