WSA blocking HTTPS traffic -allowing HTTP

axa_tech_uk
Level 1
Level 1

We have two S170 WSA appliances configured as Guest Wi-Fi Internet proxy servers.  The local network design is as follows:

WLC5508 (Foreign)     >>     WLC5508 (Anchor)     >>     ACE20 Context     >>     WSA 170     >>     FWSM     >>     Internet

Guest traffic is authenticated via WCS using RADIUS but is disabled for now.

Clients associate to SSID, receive IP address via local DHCP scope on anchor WLC and forward all traffic to DFWG which is ACE20 interface.

ACE20 has specific class-maps for public DNS use and loadbalance policy-map which forwards all other traffic (excluding DNS) to WSA.

HTTP traffic works fine, HTTPS traffic fails.  The HTTPS proxy service uses a local self-signed certificate for initial decryption of the session. The browser and WSA negotiates to use TLSv1 then the error below is shown.

I have seen this error posted before but no resolution.  I'm sure this is a config problem, but cannot figure why or where!

Any ideas, thoughts or help would be great...

Cheers

Hi axa,

This is an access policy blocking the SSL traffic based on the TCP_DENIED_SSL / 403. Also I would suspect that you do not have HTTPS proxy enabled which would be required since your not using port 80 for 443 traffic. I would recommend opening a ticket with the WSA Content Security Team.
