[All PCNSE Questions]

SSL Forward Proxy decryption is configured, but the firewall uses Untrusted-CA to sign the website https://www.important-website.com certificate. End-users are receiving the "security certificate is not trusted" warning. Without SSL decryption, the web browser shows that the website certificate is trusted and signed by a well-known certificate chain: Well-Known-Intermediate and Well-Known-Root-CA.
The network security administrator who represents the customer requires the following two behaviors when SSL Forward Proxy is enabled:
1. End-users must not get the warning for the https://www.very-important-website.com/ website
2. End-users should get the warning for any other untrusted website
Which approach meets the two customer requirements?

  • A. Clear the Forward Untrust Certificate check box on the Untrusted-CA certificate and commit the configuration
  • B. Install the Well-Known-Intermediate-CA and Well-Known-Root-CA certificates on all end-user systems in the user and local computer stores
  • C. Navigate to Device > Certificate Management > Certificates > Device Certificates, import Well-Known-Intermediate-CA and Well-Known-Root-CA, select the Trusted Root CA check box, and commit the configuration
  • D. Navigate to Device > Certificate Management > Certificates > Default Trusted Certificate Authorities, import Well-Known-Intermediate-CA and Well-Known- Root-CA, select the Trusted Root CA check box, and commit the configuration

Selected Answer: C
A: Fixes requirement 1 but doesn't meet requirement 2. B: Wouldn't fix the issue as the firewall would still be exposing the forward trust cert to the users (signed by FW or or enterprise PKI) C: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-web-interface-help/device/device-certificate-management-certificates/manage-default-trusted-certificate-authorities D: No such method to import certs exists.
