TLS / SSL Connection Issues
HTTPS connections from Umbrella Faces to a third party system must be secured using a valid and generally trusted SSL certificate.
Please note that, due to security guidelines, Umbrella cannot manually trust an otherwise untrusted certificate. Third parties will need to ensure their certificates are both valid and their web servers properly configured.
Indicators for a certificate problem
The “publishing” section on the profile may mention a “PKIX” issue, for example “PKIX path building failed”
The “publishing” section or a search-field may mention “unable to find a valid certification path”
Verifying the third party systems certificate
Umbrella will not provide any support for SSL issues as long as the independent SSL Server Test from Qualys shows any of the following issues.

|---|---|
Summary
| If the SSL Server Test summary indicates the certificate is not trusted, we will not be able to connect |
Certificate #1
| If the certificate is either not valid (check “Valid from” and “Valid until”, if either is marked red) or not trusted, we will not be able to connect |
Certification Paths - Java
| At least one of the certification paths must be “Trusted” without an “Extra Download” step. If there are only trusted paths with an extra download required, we will not be able to connect |
Handshake Simulation - Java
| Java 11 upwards must be marked as successful (green) otherwise, we will not be able to connect |
