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.

DThe firewall resides between the internal client and internal server to intercept traffic between the two.

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.

A) Sounds like the right approach to me. Decrypting and inspecting SSL/TLS traffic is the core functionality of an SSL Forward Proxy.
