A user is experiencing 'SSL Certificate Mismatch' errors. You suspect it is caused by the Umbrella proxy. How do you resolve this permanently?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Install the Umbrella Root CA certificate on the endpoint

The issue stems from the client not trusting the proxy's certificate. Installing the Umbrella Root CA certificate ensures the client validates the proxy as a trusted entity.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Disable SSL decryption in the policy

    Why it's wrong here

    This reduces security posture.

  • Update the browser

    Why it's wrong here

    This doesn't fix the lack of a custom CA in the trust store.

  • Install the Umbrella Root CA certificate on the endpoint

    Why this is correct

    This builds the necessary trust chain.

  • Add the domain to the 'Always Allow' list

    Why it's wrong here

    This bypasses security without fixing the underlying trust issue.
