I am getting an invalid certificate error

Donald Schlicht

I recently installed Sophos XG firewall on my home system. When I enable a web policy in the predefined default network rule, I get invalid certificate errors when browseing certain websites, for example Facebook. FB will not allow any access. I have gone into System-->Certificates and there is a certificate called Appliancecertificate. When I click the manage icon, it goes and gets a new copy without error. However that does not fix the problem. 

Importing a certificate into my Windows machine will not work, because my wife also accesses FB using her cell phone.

    I suspect this going to be an issue with my MBP but I cannot get safari to work with the firewall even after importing the CA. Strange thing is ff now works.

    Yes, I have read the KBA a number of times. 

    Fails to establish a secure connection.

    Any ideas besides rebuild the MBP?

    I suspect I will have to delete all the entries in the keychains regarding the firewall address, regenerate the certificate and then re-install it.

    Hi folks,

    a good start to the day. I deleted all reference to the XG from the MBP keychain, quit Safari, cleared Safari history. Restarted Safari went through the insecure site connection process, logged into the XG, downloaded the pen certificate and changed all to trust and now Safari appears to be happy.

    A possible update to the KBA might be to advise clearing keychains for those failing authentication?
