Configuring Client SSL
The Client DPI-SSL deployment scenario typically is used to inspect HTTPS traffic when clients on the LAN browse content located on the WAN. In the Client DPI-SSL scenario, the SonicWALL firewall appliance typically does not own the certificates and private keys for the content it is inspecting. After the appliance completes a DPI-SSL inspection, it rewrites the certificate sent by the remote server and signs this newly generated certificate with the certificate specified in the Client DPI-SSL configuration.
