About TLS Server Identity Discovery

Typically, the TLS 1.3 certificates are encrypted. For traffic encrypted with TLS 1.3 to match access rules that use application or URL filtering, the system must decrypt the TLS 1.3 certificate. We recommend that you enable early application detection and URL categorization to ensure encrypted connections are matched to the right access control rule. This setting decrypts the certificate only; the connection remains encrypted.

Note

This feature is currently available for FDM-managed devices running on software version 6.7 or later.
