Description
When a policy uses a Web Filter profile and SSL/SSH inspection, there is a trick to display on the client web browsers the "Replacement messages" logo or images when accessing a filtered HTTPS URL.

Solution
In the client browser, Import the CA certificate that is configured in the FortiGate SSL/SSH profile.

Import the FORTIGATE CA certificate used in SSL/SSH profile.  By default, this is "Fortinet_CA_SSLProxy".  Otherwise, import the CA used in this profile.

Use the FortiGate command line to modify 'config user setting'.

# config user setting
# set auth-ca-cert "Fortinet_CA_SSLProxy"     (or the CA used in SSL/SSH profile)

Warning: In the Client browser, prior to installing the SSL/SSH CA certificate, a security warning may appear.  Do not click the pop-up 'add/confirm security exception' and do not import the associated certificate referring to the filtered URL signed by FGT CA.
