Symptom
QID 38173
Environment
- Qualys Scanner
- https://success.qualys.com/support/s/article/000003022
Cause
Your certificate assigned must be signed by a trusted third-party Certificate Authority.
Resolution
- The scanner is unable to validate the SSL certificate. This is not a vulnerability with PANW hardware, PAN-OS, or configuration. The default certificate will not show up in the firewall by design and the scanner does not trust this certificate. For more details please see the following:
