Does SSL decryption work on the Forward Proxy in tap mode?

Not applicable

Hello, This is Heejun from Uquest.

I'm testing SSL decryption, and read some document saying that SSL decryption won't working with Forward Proxy in tap mode.

But I heard that someone did this during previous POC. There's no way to check this right now.

So I want to hear that whether this is possible or not.

I've seen this contents in 'TechConnect - SSL Decryption- Configuration and Best Practices.'

Ah.. He used PAN OS 5.0.

Forward proxy is not supported in tap mode.  Inbound decryption is supported in tap similar to other deployment modes.

Thank you very much for your reply.

In a nut shell, normally we use tap mode in poc, and use ssl decryption in forward proxy mode and this means that we can't not show 'ssl decryption' in poc ?

That is correct.  Forward proxy would not be a testable feature in tap mode. 

Really thanks kfindlen, you are my hero!

Have a nice day.:smileylaugh:
