Certificate Pinning

Certificate pinning is an Internet security mechanism which allows applications to resist impersonation against HTTPS servers using mis-issued or otherwise fraudulent digital certificates. However, if this security feature causes problems when users attempt to access destinations that are both essential and trusted, you may bypass this security feature for destinations that use certificate pinning.


 

Normally, decryption must be bypassed for sites that use pinned certificates. However, for troubleshooting purposes, you can disable this behavior for intrusion prevention (IPS).
