It's A, A self-signed certificate generated on the firewall. Client is supposed to present a warning about untrusted certificate and that's what answer A will provide. I am surprised how many people answer wrong even for the simplest questions like this and create too much noise with their comments and create confusion. I hope there are people that really read study guides, admin guides, PAN Beacon study materials before they put comments here with so much confidence claiming something is correct 100% while it's not.

As it needs to be the Forward Untrust Certificate it must not be signed by a trusted source, so self signed it is.

A is the only correct answer since it's supposed to be an untrusted certificate on the browser end.

Selected Answer: A
The only acceptable answer is A. You don't want to pay for the certificate, you don't want it to have a chain of trust and you don't want it trusted anywhere in your network. It's an 'Untrust' certificate after all.

A is correct, if client machines and browsers do not have a self-signed certificate installed by default, then a warning will be triggered.

Selected Answer: A
The browser doesn't have to trust the certificate. It's why we need to use a self-signed, which is free, easy to deploy and works well. The user should have a warning message. On this case, only A is correct. D is false because the brower will trust the cert automatically.

definitely not A. A self-signed CA will not be trusted by the browser as it is not a trusted cert.

Please, read the question again. The browser doesn't have to trust the certificate. It's why we need to use a self-signed, which is free, easy to deploy and works well. The user should have a warning message. On this case, only A is correct. D is false because the brower will trust the cert automatically.

Exactly, B,C and D would result in a trusted certificate being presented to the users and won't provide the untrusted certificate warning.

Please don't go with Answer D. The root cert of the org will be in the Trust store of the enterprise computers and will NOT give warnings about untrusted sites.
