certificate error

Question 1)
I am doing some tests and when accessing the XG (https://172.16.16.16:4444) the certificate message appears. As attachment.

I saw this SOPHOS procedure, but it did not work. How do I apply the SOPHOS certificate in the user's browser so that this message no longer appears?

Question 2)

With regard to the captive portal, is the same thing valid?

  • Hi  

    Thanks for answering. This first procedure I did inclusive, I installed the certificate in my windows 10, but the certificate error continues to appear.

    About generating the certificate itself, I was able to generate the certificate, but soon after generating this certificate, what next? Do I need to have an internal CA?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Tiago,

    if the error still appear something is wrong. You have to read carefully what the Browser is telling you about the error. Take note that you need to import the CA:

    https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123048

    Because the Default CA is not trusted by your browser. It is not in the list of the approved CA. Every browser comes with a list of "good" CA, which are the popular CA around the world.

    Because CA uses hierarchies, if you trust the CA all the Certificates generated by the trusted CA will be also trusted.

    Once the CA has been trusted, make sure that the certificate you generated, the Common Name reflects the name/ip you are generating for.

    For example, if you need to generate a certificate for webmail.test.com, you will need to generate a certificate where the CN is webmail.test.com

    If the webmail service also is reached using IP, you need to generate another certificate, because the CN is webmail.test.com but you are trying to access the service by IP, so the CN does not match.
