HTTPS Proxy

• The HTTPS proxy service caches requests for encrypted web-pages, applies any access control policies, and forwards them to the requesting hosts.

• You need to install the Dome intermediate certificate on endpoints in order to analyze SSL encrypted traffic.

• You can also specify exceptions – website categories and URLs which should not go through the proxy service.
  

• Click 'Proxy' >  'HTTP/HTPPS' from the left hand side navigation

• Click the 'HTTPS' tab.

 The interface enables the administrator to specify/create intermediate certificate for authentication.

• Accept every certificate - If left unselected, the DFW virtual appliance will accept only the valid SSL certificates from the remote servers. If selected, the virtual appliance will accept all the certificates from the remote servers including outdated certificates.
  

• Click 'Save'. A confirmation dialog will appear.

• Click 'Apply' for your settings to take effect.

Certificate Settings

The intermediate certificate can be deployed to the HTTPS proxy service in two ways:

• Use an existing certificate

• Create a new certificate
  

In either case, the same certificate needs to be installed on endpoints that will use the HTTPS proxy.

Use an existing certificate

If you already posses an intermediate certificate, you can upload it to the firewall and install it on client computers.

To upload an existing certificate

• Click the 'Browse' button under the 'Upload proxy certificate' option, navigate to the location where the certificate is stored and click 'Open'.

• Click 'Upload'

The certificate will be uploaded to the appliance and deployed.

Creating a New Certificate

The Dome Firewall is capable of creating a new self signed intermediate certificate with one year validity and use it for authentication.  Once a new certificate is created, the existing certificate, if any, will be replaced by the new certificate. Hence the administrator should download the certificate and install it on to the host computers in the network infrastructure that need to authenticate them to  the  HTTPS proxy service.

To create a certificate

• Click the 'Create a new certificate' button. A confirmation dialog will be displayed.

• Click 'OK'

A new certificate will be created and deployed in the DWF virtual appliance.

• To download the certificate for transferring to the clients in the network, click the 'Download' link within the parenthesis beside 'Upload proxy certificate'. Transfer the certificate onto the computers in the network and install it on their Intermediate Certificate Store.
