Certificates
Your Firebox can use certificates for several purposes:
- Management session data is secured with a certificate.
- Branch Office VPN, Mobile VPN with IPSec, and Mobile VPN with L2TP tunnels can use certificates for authentication.
- When content inspection is enabled for HTTPS traffic or SMTP over TLS, these proxies use a certificate to re-encrypt incoming traffic after it is decrypted for inspection.
- You can use a certificate with the proxy to protect a web server on your network.
- When a user authenticates with the Firebox for any purpose, such as a WebBlocker override, the connection is secured with a certificate.
- When RADIUS or Firebox authentication is configured to use WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise authentication methods.
By default, your Firebox creates self-signed certificates to secure management session data and authentication attempts for Fireware Web UI and for proxy content inspection.
