I was working with a user who has no Admin rights.  When she was enabling HTTPS decrypt, it went through the warning-accept-cert process.  It failed with

ShellExecute Failed

Fiddler Exception thrown... This program is blocked by group policy....

 

Can I get a hint as to what program Fiddler runs as part of the HTTPS decrypt-enable process?  Then I can set about defeating the GPO.

Hi Kevin,

Most probably the step that is failing is adding a certificate to the Trusted Root certificate authorities store for the current user. A good resource explaining what's happening behind the scenes is the FAQ - Certificates in Fiddler blog post.
