This is because the error message indicates that the client device does not trust the certificate authority that issued the certificate for the external server. Therefore, you need to import the root CA certificate from the SRX Series device to the client device and add it to the trusted certificate store. This will allow the client device to verify the identity of the SRX Series device and accept the certificates it generates for the external servers3.

The other options are not correct because:

• A. Load a known good, but expired. CA certificate onto the SRX Series device. This will not solve the problem because the client device will still reject the certificates from the SRX Series device if they are signed by an expired CA certificate. The expiration date of the CA certificate is one of the factors that the client device checks when validating the certificate2.
• B. Install a new SRX Series device to act as the client proxy. This will not solve the problem because the new SRX Series device will still need to have a root CA certificate configured and imported to the client devices. The problem is not with the SRX Series device itself, but with the trust relationship between the SRX Series device and the client devices2.
• C. Reboot the SRX Series device. This will not solve the problem because rebooting the SRX Series device will not change the configuration or the certificates on the SRX Series device or the client devices. The problem is not caused by a temporary glitch or a malfunction, but by a mismatch between the certificates on the SRX Series device and the client devices2.

I hope this helps you understand the problem and the solution better. If you want to learn more about SSL client protection proxy, you can check out the following references:

 To create a security policy that will automatically add infected hosts to the infected hosts feed and block further communication through the SRX Series device, you need to add a security intelligence policy to the permit portion of the security policy. A security intelligence policy is a set of rules that defines the actions to be taken for traffic thatmatches a specific category of threat feeds, such as infected hosts, command and control servers, or botnets. By adding a security intelligence policy to the permit portion of the security policy, you can enable the SRX Series device to dynamically update the infected hosts feed based on the advanced anti-malware policy results, and block the traffic from or to the infected hosts. Options B, C, and D are not correct because they do not enable the automatic addition of infected hosts to the feed or the blocking of their communication. References: The answer can be verified from Juniper’s official documentation on security intelligence and advanced anti-malware available on their website. Here are some relevant links:

Unified policies are security policies that enable you to use dynamic applications as match conditions along with the existing 5-tuple or 6-tuple (with user firewall) match conditions to detect application changes over time3 If the traffic matches the security policy rule, one or more actions defined in the policy are applied to the traffic3 During the initial policy lookup phase, which occurs prior to a dynamic application being identified, if there are multiple policies in the potential policy list, the SRX Series Firewall applies the default security policy until a more explicit match has occurred2 The policy that best matches the application is the final policy2 APPID results are used to determine the final security policy1 References:
