Description This articles describes how to use one interface for Web admin with a secondary IP for VPN, using both the same port 443.
Scope

FortiGate and FortiClient.

Version 7.2.1.

Solution

1) In the interface or Secondary IP where the SSL-VPN is wanted to work, make sure to have the 'HTTPS' disabled in Administrative Access settings.

2) In FortiGate CLI, make the following change:

 

# config vpn ssl setting
    set port-precedence disable
end

 

Enable/disable, Enable means that if SSL-VPN connections are allowed on an interface admin GUI connections are blocked on that interface.
