iis - Does a browser need access to the Internet to browse an internal secured site with SSL? -


i have secured website using network solutions ssl cert. website can accessed computers in environments in company have access internet. (iis redirects http calls https). have browser in locked down environment trying access same website using https. locked down environment doesn't have access internet ports 80 , 443 open website's server , verified responses telneting ports 80 & 443. (not related error anyways). iis server has access internet.

the response in ie shown below. ie problem in doesn't have internet access , can't connect network solutions (ns) verification or because of maybe missing root cert ns? ns known authority unlikely.
(i troubleshooting webapi calls using https in case decides not programming question. have make ie work correctly on same machine before @ webapi stuff)

enter image description here

tl;tr: no internet access needed check certificate on internal sites, there edge cases.

there no internet needed access internal site has certificate signed internal ca. there no internet access needed in cases if internal site has certificate signed common public (i.e. external ca). there might slowdown in case since might try check online revocation information in cases continue if cannot reach server revocation checks. might fail if certificate ev certificate or if browser configured more strict revocation checks usual.

but in case shows certificate issued unknown ca. means either root ca certificate not known @ on system or server failed send intermediate certificates required build trust path root ca. in last case browsers able work around such broken configuration downloading missing intermediate certificates internet - of course requires internet access then. in first case (missing root ca) update of root ca store microsoft browsers might in background if have internet access.
