Exam NetSec-Analyst Topic 3 Question 153 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NetSec-Analyst exam
Question #: 153
Topic #: 3
An internal web application, 'AppX', uses SSL with client certificates for mutual authentication. Users are complaining that they cannot access 'APPX' when SSL Inbound Inspection is enabled on the Palo Alto Networks firewall. The firewall logs indicate 'decryption-failure' with reason 'client-certificate-required'. Which specific configuration adjustment to the SSL Inbound Inspection profile applied to 'APPX' would resolve this issue without compromising the mutual authentication requirement?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Mutual authentication means both the client and the server present certificates to each other for validation. When SSL Inbound Inspection is performed, the firewall terminates the client's connection and then initiates a new connection to the server. If the server (AppX) requires a client certificate, the firewall needs to be able to 'forward' the original client's certificate. The 'Forward Client Certificate' option within the SSL Inbound Inspection profile allows the firewall to re-present the client certificate it received from the original client to the server during the new connection it establishes. Additionally, for the firewall's connection to be trusted by AppX, Appx must trust the certificate the firewall presents (its decryption certificate).
