Description

This article describes the workaround and fix schedule for an issue where the "Duplicate Firewall Objects" security rating check fails for default address objects ('all' and 'FIREWALL_AUTH_PORTAL_ADDRESS') and FTP-related services (FTP, FTP_GET, and FTP_PUT) that share identical configurations.

Scope

FortiGate v7.6.0

Solution

The 'Duplicate Firewall Objects' check will fail for default address objects such as 'al;l and 'FIREWALL_AUTH_PORTAL_ADDRESS', as well as for default FTP-related services like FTP, FTP_GET, and FTP_PUT due to identical configuration.
