SSL Scanning Exception

I having issues with SSL Scan and Decrypt.  I would like to create an SSL Scanning exception for a number of sites but I can’t seem to get it working correctly.

I have created for example purposes the following exception for www.google.de

 

However when I activate it, I receive  a Content Blocked message from my UTM.  When I deactivate the exception rule I can access www.google.de without any problems.

 

Exception Activated

Any ideas what I'm missing here

  • Sounds like you ha e a firewall rule which is blocking the connecton when UTM is not involved.  If Web Proxy was blocking you, the error="" clause would not be empty.  

  • As far as I can tell UTM is involved as otherwise I wouldn't be seeing entries in the http logs for the SSL connection/blocking.  With my exception I only tried to deactivate SSL scanning  but not Category filtering, so I would expect the Web Proxy to still be involved in the establishment of the connection.

    Having said that I will run a few tests later and check for any unexpected drops due to firewall rules.

  • Hi, Kenneth, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    The first access is a CONNECT that wasn't allowed ("403"), but I don't see why.  How was user="kcronin" authenticated?  Is Google SafeSearch activated?

    The second access is a successful GET, which makes me wonder why you want to skip 'Decrypt and scan' for this FQDN.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi Bob,

    The user kcronin is an eDirectory user and is Authenticated using eDirectory SSO. Google SafeSearch is not activated. I actually don’t want to skip 'Decrypt and Scan' for FQDN www.google.de, but am using it in order to test my rules.  I need the exception for a few Applications (Elster, UPS Worldship etc.) which have not being working properly since we activated Decrypt and Scan.  I have also tested the exception using other Domains but have had the same results.

    Regards, Ken
