Transparent HTTPS Scanning and Finjan’s
Certificate
Although HTTPS Scanning is transparent to the end user, it is still
mandatory to install the SSL certificate of the Scanning Server on the end
user’s PC in order to prevent the security warnings. When the end user
browses an HTTPS site, the Scanning Server generates on-the-fly
certificate, signs the certificate and sends it to the end-user. If the user
doesn’t have the Scanning Server’s certificate in the trusted CA’s a
warning message will appear.
