Overview
Emma Legal uses modern web technologies to provide a fast and responsive workspace. Some corporate network security solutions inspect, proxy, or modify HTTPS traffic to enforce security policies. In certain cases, these tools can interfere with modern web protocols and reduce the number of concurrent connections available to the Emma workspace, which may lead to slow loading times or parts of the application not working correctly.
If your organization uses tools such as Netskope, Zscaler, or similar secure web gateways, we recommend adding Emma Legal and all of its subdomains to the allow list and excluding them from HTTPS/SSL/TLS traffic inspection where possible.
Domains to allow
Please ask your IT or security team to add the following domain to the allow list:
*.emma.legal
This includes all Emma Legal services, such as:
app.emma.legal – Emma workspace
docs.emma.legal – Product documentation
Any other current or future Emma Legal subdomains
Do you use a web security or traffic inspection tool?
Many organizations deploy software that monitors or filters web traffic. You may see one of these applications installed on your computer, or your IT department may manage them centrally.
Common examples include:
Netskope
A cloud security platform that can inspect and proxy web traffic.
Documentation:
Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA)
A secure web gateway that can apply URL filtering and SSL/TLS inspection policies.
Documentation:
Other common enterprise web security solutions
- Palo Alto Prisma Access
- Cisco Secure Access
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
- Symantec/Broadcom Secure Web Gateway
- Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway
If your organization uses one of these solutions, please forward this article to your IT department and ask them to configure the Emma Legal domains accordingly.
Instructions for your IT department
Please configure your security solution to allow:
*.emma.legal
The preferred configuration is to exclude Emma Legal from HTTPS/SSL/TLS inspection, decryption, or traffic proxying where your security platform supports this.
Examples:
Netskope: Create an SSL decryption bypass or traffic steering exception for *.emma.legal.
Zscaler: Add *.emma.legal to the allow list or configure an SSL inspection rule with a "Do Not Inspect" policy.
The exact configuration steps depend on your organization's security setup and policies.
Symptoms of this issue
If Emma Legal is not properly allow-listed, users may experience:
Slow loading of pages or documents
Loading indicators that never complete
Sections of the interface appearing empty or not updating
General slowness despite a stable internet connection
