Symptoms

When trying to bypass HTTPS inspection for a site URL, traffic is logged as detected and not bypassed.
SSLlabs (www.ssllabs.com) shows that the certificate for the site is not trusted.

Cause

By design, HTTPS Inspection according to URL needs to validate the certificate to determine the match for rule. If it is not matched because the certificate cannot be validated, the HTTPS cleanup rule matches the traffic.
