WatchGuard Network Security Essentials — Question 29

When your users connect to the Authentication Portal page to authenticate, they see a security warning message in their browses, which they must accept before they can authenticate. How can you make sure they do not see this security warning message in their browsers? (Select one.)

Answer options

• A. Import a custom self-signed certificate or a third-party certificate to your Firebox and import the same certificate to all client computers or web browsers.
• B. Replace the Firebox certificate with the trusted certificate from your web server.
• C. Add the user accounts for your users who use the Authentication Portal to a list of trusted users on your Firebox.
• D. Instruct them to disable security warning message in their preferred browsers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because importing a trusted certificate ensures that user browsers recognize the connection as secure, thus eliminating the warning. Option B suggests replacing the Firebox certificate, which may not address the trust issue for client browsers. Option C does not resolve the certificate trust problem, and option D is not advisable as it compromises security settings.
