Installing REMC1 Certificate Authority

Version 24.1 by 62a391516a7b750068a46920 on 2017/11/10 06:08

General Info

  • In order for the Fortigate generated Deep Scanning certs to not generate an SSL warning you must import and Trust the REMC1 certificate authority cert. 
  • All Fortigate SSL certificates are dynamically generated from this certificate for Deep Scanning web filter/firewall profiles 
  • To quickly deploy the certificate push it out in the Machine section of Active Directory Group Policy under the Trusted CA authorities section. 
  • Firefox needs to have the certificate individually imported for each user. Firefox is not going to be feasible for deep scanning firewalls (all of them not just Fortigate). Uninstall firefox. 
  • Chrome, IE, Safari are feasible options.  
  • If you are REMC1 staff and are looking for methods to deploy the certificate please read this page: Methods to Deploy REMC1 Certificate Authority
