Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for automatically installing CA certificates received from a network security appliance by a client security manager to make the CA certificate become a trusted CA certificate to a client machine are provided. In one embodiment, a client security manager establishes a connection with a network security appliance through a network, wherein the client security manager is configured for managing security of a client at the client side and the network security appliance is configured for managing the security of traffic pass through the network. The client security manager downloads from the network security appliance a certificate authority (CA) certificate to be used for signing a server certificate of a secure connection between the network security appliance and the client and automatically installs the CA certificate into a certificate store of the client.
