Actifile agent’s install is successful. Agent starts but doesn’t show up in the installed devices list.
A look at the logs (C:\program files(x86)\Actifile Agent\Logs) shows this message repeating itself:
11:47:01 AM|main|Authenticate request … 11:47:02 AM|main|Warning: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. 11:47:02 AM|main|Exception occured: Exception: Switching to offline mode failed. Can't login offline. Maybe Agent never logged online on this device at AFAgentEngine.Helpers.UserHelper.AuthenticateOffline(String username, String password, String agentKey, Boolean useAgentkey, String deviceName, String macAddress) at AFAgentEngine.AgentEngine.InternalStart(Boolean first) 11:47:02 AM|main|Processing stop …

Here is an example of one such implementation/configuration from SonicWall:
The Actifile agent’s traffic must be excluded from the SSL-DPI tool. As an example, following is an example of the procedure for SonicWall’s firewall devices:
