When a Threat ID isn’t visible in the Vulnerability Protection profile’s Exceptions tab, selecting "Show all signatures" (Option B) reveals all available threat signatures, including those not recently triggered, allowing the administrator to add an exception efficiently. This is the fastest way to resolve false positives without external assistance.

Option A (system logs) may explain the absence but doesn’t implement the fix. Option C (traffic logs) allows rule-based workarounds, not profile exceptions. Option D (support case) is slower and unnecessary. Documentation confirms this method.

The vsysadmin role in Palo Alto Networks firewalls is a virtual system (vsys)-specific administrative role with limited privileges. It can commit changes to the candidate configuration of the assigned vsys (Option B) and create/edit Security policies and profiles specific to that vsys (Option C). This role is designed for multi-tenant environments where administrators manage only their assigned virtual systems.

Option A (configure resource limits) is a superuser or device-level task, not within vsysadmin’s scope. Option D (configure interfaces) is also outside vsysadmin’s permissions, as interface management is a device-wide function. Official documentation defines these privileges clearly.

To configure SSL Forward Proxy decryption on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, certain key components must be set up to ensure secure and effective decryption and inspection of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic:

B. Define a Forward Trust Certificate:

A Forward Trust Certificate is essential for SSL Forward Proxy decryption. This certificate is used by the firewall to dynamically generate certificates for SSL sites that are trusted. When the firewall decrypts and inspects the traffic and then re-encrypts it, the new certificate presented to the client comes from the Forward Trust Certificate authority. This certificate must be trusted by client devices, often requiring the Forward Trust CA certificate to be distributed and installed on client devices.

C. Configure SSL decryption rules:

SSL decryption rules are the policies that determine which traffic is to be decrypted. These rules specify the source, destination, service, and URL category, among other criteria. The rules define what traffic the SSL Forward Proxy will apply to, enabling selective decryption based on security and privacy requirements.

Together, these components form the basis of the SSL Forward Proxy decryption setup, allowing for the decryption, inspection, and re-encryption of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic to identify and prevent threats hidden within encrypted sessions.
