HTTPS notifications
To enable the cloud proxy to serve the correct notification page to the user for HTTPS sites - for example, a block page if the site is in a category that the end user is prevented from accessing, or the Pre-logon welcome page for authentication - you need a root certificate on each client machine that acts as a Certificate Authority for secure requests to the cloud proxy.
To install the root certificate for your end users and enable notification pages for HTTPS sites:
Steps
- In the Settings area, click the root certificate link and download the certificate to a location on your network. You can then deploy the certificate manually, using your preferred distribution method
- Once the certificate has been deployed, return to this page and mark Use certificate to serve notifications for HTTPS pages.
- Click Save.
