Troubleshooting Tip: Unable to change management VDOM in FortiProxy

Description

This article describes why the management VDOM cannot be changed on FortiProxy.  The management VDOM is set to root by default.

Scope FortiProxy.
Solution

Unlike FortiGate, where a management-vdom setting is available in the config system global settings CLI, it is also possible to toggle the change on the GUI. 

 

An example of FortiGate GUI is shown below:

However, FortiProxy does not support setting a non-root VDOM as the management VDOM. 

 

FPX(global) # config system global
FPX(global) # get | grep management-vdom ----> It is not available on FortiProxy.
FPX(global) #

 

As such, the 'Switch Management' option is not be available on FortiProxy GUI for VDOM settings.

Note: FortiGuard settings cannot be configured in any VDOM other than the root VDOM. Configuring them in a different VDOM will result in FortiGuard services becoming unavailable.

This is not a bug - it is expected behavior for FortiProxy.
