All Chromebooks must have the HTTPS certificate from the Smoothwall appliance installed to prove they are trusted when connecting to the Smoothwall. Rather than installing the certificate on each individual Chromebook on the network, you can use the Google Admin Console to push the certificate out to all devices.
Tip: If you have recently changed the host name of the Smoothwall and are having issues, check to make sure the host name in the certificate matches with the host name of the Smoothwall.
- Verify that the HTTPS certificate contains the correct host name and download the HTTPS certificate.
- Export the HTTPS interception certificate. See the help topic, Managing HTTPS inspection settings.
