Answer options
A: show system setting ssl-decrypt certificate Correct answer
B: show system setting ssl-decrypt certs
C: debug dataplane show ssl-decrypt ssl-certs
D: show system setting ssl-decrypt certificate-cache
Correct Answer:
A. show system setting ssl-decrypt certificate
Explanation

The show system setting ssl-decrypt certificate command is the designated PAN-OS CLI command to view the configured certificates for SSL Decryption. This command displays the specific certificates assigned to the roles of Forward Trust, Forward Untrust, and SSL Inbound Inspection. It is the standard operational command for verifying which certificates are actively configured for these decryption functions, which is a primary step in troubleshooting SSL Decryption issues related to certificate trust.

Why Incorrect

B: The command syntax is incorrect. The correct keyword is the singular certificate, not the plural certs. C: This is a debug command used for advanced, real-time dataplane troubleshooting, not for viewing the static certificate configuration. D: This command displays the cache of certificates that the firewall has dynamically signed, not the primary configured certificates like Forward Trust.
