Additional Background Information
The CK Root cert creates a trusted relationship between a user’s endpoint and the Content Keeper filter as packets travel to and from search engines. Google and other SSL encrypted sites see the filter as a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack and throw a security warning. That security warning is accurate – something is in between the encrypted connection from the endpoint to the internet. If that personal endpoint is off the MCCSC network, that certificate has no bearing on a network connection because the CK appliance is not involved. MCCSC owned devices proxy connections back through the filter both on and off the network. The certificate is managed by MCCSC Information Services department.
