Proxies may be normal on enterprise networks. Define distinct trust and distribution policies for production and authorized laboratory observation.
Evaluation approach
Accept test certificates only in controlled test builds. Do not instruct production users to disable general verification.
Application example
Use test accounts and services while confirming that release packages reject unexpected certificates.
Limits and considerations
Invisible laboratory traffic does not prove API security.
Bounding test exceptions
Separate identities and packages help contain exceptions. Still inspect the final release artifact; source configuration intent is not sufficient evidence.
Checks and decisions
- Separate test packages
- Preserve release policy
- Record authorized scope
