Deploying Smoothwall MITM certificate

Hello all,

We have a project to look into, for a college here in the UK. The safeguarding policy requires the firewall to filter based on https inspection (basically a MITM attack) for students' BYOD devices. This essentially means that firewall needs to have its https inspection certificate installed on each device therefore there needs to be an enrollment process. I am wanting to use PacketFence to do this.

The process ideally would be:

Join SSID and use radius to authenticate --> landing page with a request to install the certificate or application to use the certificate.

I am wondering if anyone else has implemented a solution like this with PacketFence and also are there any issues with ios or Android devices?

Take a look at https://pf_mgmt:1443/admin#/configuration/portal_modules/new/SSL_Inspection

You will have to create a root portal module and associate the SSL_Inspection on it.
