How does SSL Forward Proxy decryption work?

ASSL Forward Proxy decryption policy decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS traffic from internal users to the web.

BThe SSL Forward Proxy Firewall creates a certificate intended for the client that is intercepted and altered by the firewall.

CIf the server's certificate is signed by a CA that the firewall does not trust, the firewall will use the certificate only on Forward Trust.

Yes, that's true. The firewall does create a certificate for the client.

But doesn't the firewall create a certificate for the client that is intercepted and altered?

I wonder if the firewall can also do some fancy dance moves while it's intercepting the traffic. That would be a real power move.

D) Placing the firewall between the client and server to intercept the traffic makes sense. Gotta love that man-in-the-middle action!

C) Hmm, using the certificate only on Forward Trust if the CA is not trusted - that's a good safeguard to ensure the integrity of the process.

B) That's an interesting one. Intercepting and altering the client's certificate does seem like a clever way to enable decryption.
