Decryption failed

L1 Bithead

Hi guys , 

PA820 . OS Version 10.2.9-h1

 

I am try using the decryption function to see more application information
I generated the CA certificate from PA and imported it locally.

From the decryption log, I saw many errors with various URLs.
Can anyone help explain how to eliminate this?

 

error eq 'Received fatal alert CertificateUnknown from client. CA Issuer URL (truncated):http://cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertGlobalG2TLSRSASHA2562020CA1'
URL: http://aia.entrust.net/l1k-chain256.cer'

Hello @HY_Cheng 

 

It seems like you're dealing with a classic incomplete chain issue.

This often occurs with SSL/TLS certificates when the server doesn't provide the full certificate chain, excluding the root certificate.

What exactly did you do when you generated the CA certificate from PA and imported in locally?

I followed the file settings, and the text did not mention the need for a complete certificate chain.

 

Only use self-signed CAs and choose to forward trust certificates

 

From the traffic log, I can see that the appplication can be identified, but I still see a similar error in the decryption log. Is it necessary to complete the credential chain for a specific connection to eliminate this problem?
Any ideas?

 

Thank you so much

I followed the documentation settings, generated a self-signed CA and chose to forward the trust certificate
Import the local trusted root certificate authority and set the porfile/policy
Try to connect to check the traffic

What type of client are you using? Are they Windows machines? If so, when you browse the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store, do you see it there?
