Install CA certificate for ssl inspection doesn't work

Hello,

 

I'd like to use our Public Certificate (Signed by a public CA) to use in the ssl inspection profile.

I followed the instruction here https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.0.0/cookbook/518006/using-a-ca-signed-certificate.

 

Here the situation on certificate:

 

 

But as you can see below I'm not able to select my certificate, the only I can see is the Fortinet_CA_SSL.

Why ?

 

Thank you in advance ...

Hello, it is not possible to use the classic PUBLIC certificate, because it must be able to decrypt and re-encrypt the content. it is a certificate issued to the certification authorities.  You can use a private certificate delivered by your infrastructure pki.

On the other hand, in Fortinet equipment, by default there is a certificate which can be used for this. This certificate can be downloaded and then distributed to computers by script or gpo.

 

Best regards,

If you certificate does not have CA:TRUE than it is not useable.

 

example

 

openssl x509 -in mycertpublic.crt -text -noout

Or open it in a browser or keystore and check the certificate details.
