Adding SWG HTTPS certificates to Mac/OSX


Summary:


This article describes the process of manually adding an SWG HTTPS certificate to an OSX keystore for use with HTTPS inspection.


  • Export the HTTPS certificate from the SWG by navigating to Administration -> System Settings -> SWG Devices, and expand the left-hand Tree to reveal the Scanning Server HTTPS section







  •  Take the exported certificate, and copy it onto the Mac.

  •  Import the certificate into the OSX Keychain using the Keychain Access program









  •  Once imported, double-click the certificate in the Keychain Access window





  •  Set 'When using this certificate' to 'Always Trust'








  •  After the certificate has been loaded and trusted, navigate to System Preferences -> Network -> Proxies and ensure that the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS is set.





  •  Close the web browser and reopen it.  You should now be able to browse to HTTPS sites through the SWG as expected.
