Hi,
I want to enable deep SSL Inspection on my company. If I would want to use this feature for domain user, I would deploy Fortinet CA to my client with GPO. But I want to use this feature for my guests. It is not possible that adding trusted CA on their computers. In this case I tried to upload my wilcard certificate to use SSL Inspection. But I am getting trust error when I go to any website. Is there another type of certificate to use for SSL Inspection ?
You should not use deep packet inspection on traffic from devices that you do not manage. Use standard certificate inspection profile for guest devices instead.
More info at https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.2/administration-guide/505842/certificate-inspectio...
Enabling deep SSL inspection for guest users can be challenging since you cannot deploy a trusted CA certificate on their computers. Using a wildcard certificate for SSL inspection is likely cause trust errors for most websites.
Instead, you can consider using a "self-signed certificate" specifically for SSL inspection purposes.
Thanks
Pavan
