## Symptoms

- * A Bypass/Inspect rule by Category in the HTTPS Inspection policy works for some sites but not others.
* The "Issued To" section of the problematic website's SSL Certificate does not reflect the site that is being accessed.

## Cause

HTTPS Inspection categorizes based on the 'CN' or 'Issued To' portion of the website's SSL Certificate.

An example of this is as follows:

1) A Bypass rule is in place for the "Gambling" category:

2) The majority of sites are bypassed, but not gambling.com

3) The certificate of gambling.com prevents us from bypassing it as 'Gambling', by default. **The CN "ssl315896.cloudflaressl.com" will not be categorized as 'Gambling'.**
