How to install the DPI-SSL certificate in modern


browsers
Description
The Client DPI-SSL deployment scenario typically is used to inspect HTTPS traffic when clients on the
LAN browse content located on the WAN. In this scenario, the firewall typically does not own the
certificates and private keys for the content it is inspecting. After performing DPI-SSL inspection, the
appliance re-writes the certificate sent by the remote server and signs this newly generated certificate with
the certificate specified in the Client DPI-SSL configuration. By default, this is the firewall certificate
authority (CA) certificate, but a different certificate can be specified. Users should be instructed to add the
þÿcertificate to their browser s trusted list to avoid certificate trust errors.

For a re-signing certificate authority to successfully re-sign certificates, browsers have to trust the certificate
authority. Such trust can be established by having the re-signing certificate imported into the browser's
trusted CA list. This article covers how to install the default SonicWall DPI-SSL certificate in modern
browsers. Before reading further please download the default DPI-SSL certificate from the SonicWall.
