Investigate Decryption Failures (Strata Cloud Manager)

Table of Contents


  1. Select Incidents and Alerts Log Viewer and select Firewall/Decryption to drill down into the logs.
    Use the query Error Index = 'Certificate' to view all Decryption sessions that experienced certificate errors.
    The Error column shows the reason for the certificate error. To filter for all Decryption sessions that had the same error, click the error message to add it to the query and then execute the query. For example, to find all errors based on receiving a fatal alert from the client, clicking the error produces the query (Error Index = Certificate) AND (Error Message = ‘Received fatal alert CertificateUnknown from client’).
    To filter for the certificate errors that a specific host received, add that SNI to the query instead of adding error message text. For example, to find all certificate errors for expired.badssl.com, use the query (Error Index = 'Certificate') AND (Server Name Indication = ‘expired.badssl.com’).
    The Error column shows the specific reason for each certificate error associated with expired.badssl.com.
    Once you know the reason for the certificate issue that caused the decryption failure, you can address it. For example, if the certificate chain is incomplete, you can repair the incomplete certificate chain. If a certificate is expired, you can notify the site administrator or create a policy-based exception if you need to access the site.
