5.1 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 to prevent security warnings. When the end-user browses an
HTTPS site, the Scanning Server generates an on-the-fly certificate, signs
the certificate, and sends it to the end-user. If the user does not have the
Scanning Server’s certificate among the trusted CAs, a warning message
will be displayed.
