Note: After enabling SSL inspection you need to import the certificates on the browsers to avoid getting “certificate error”, this is described in the related KB article.

If this does not work, import the "fortinet_CA" certificate that is available under certificates>CA certificates, clear the browser cache and cookies, restart the browser.
