When Bypass Code is toggled to Enable, you will be requested to download the SSL root certificate for HTTPS redirect in your browser. The SSL root certificate can be downloaded from the Downloads page (Administration > Downloads > Infoblox SSL Root Certificate) or by clicking on this link. The direct link for downloading the ChromeOS SSL certiciate by clicking here. Select Download Infoblox SSL Root Certificate for all browsers other than ChromeOS. For ChromeOS, select Download ChromeOS Certificate. The default block page will be provided using an intelligent proxy. |
If you use bypass codes to override content filtering and grant temporary access to restricted HTTPS sites, ensure that you install the Infoblox Root Certificate in your browser so you can eliminate excessive warning messages when you try to access any blocked websites. BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud uses an intelligent proxy to provide bypass access to the blocked content, and the proxy presents its own SSL certificate to the browser each time it tries to access any blocked HTTPS sites. If the SSL certificate is not trusted, a warning message may appear (this is the expected and correct behavior). By installing the Infoblox Root Certificate, your browser will trust the certificate provided by the proxy, which prevents the warnings when you try to access blocked HTTPS sites using bypass codes. Note that this applies only to blocked websites where a security policy was provisioned with bypass codes. Other HTTPS sites will not be affected. In addition to using the SSL root certificate for HTTPS redirect in the browser, it can also be used to show default block pages without receiving an SSL error.
