 Is it normal for a private virtual machine not to access the internet in edit mode?The license wants to verify but cannot verify because there is no access?Also how can I connect the virtual machine to my local license server?

HelloI have some questions regarding FortiNAC-F.I see the main difference is in the new FortiOS like shell, but what are the most important added values in FortiNAC-F?How do I choose between FortiNAC and FortiNAC-F? Is FortiNAC suitable for some customers and -F suitable for others?As Fortinet has now 2 NAC products, I guess the legacy FortiNAC will be discontinued, right?If FortiNAC will be discontinued, when and what will be its last version?Since FortiNAC-F is relatively new, is the latest 7.2.5 version considered as mature? Does Fortinet recommends it more than FortiNAC 9.2.8?

Hello,   Can a FortiGate use a proxy server to activate a FortiToken mobile code? In the documentation (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.2/administration-guide/492260/configuring-a-proxy-server-for-fortiguard-updates) I read that: "Proxy tunneling is supported only for registration, AV, and IPS updates. For FortiGate virtual machines, proxy tunneling can also be used for license validation." and I'm not sure if FortiToken activation is supported in proxy tunneling or not.   Thanks

Hi all, Previously I have implemented Fortigate integrate with Okta authen. but now we still having some issues which is I am not really sure about it. Here is the config that I implemented in Fortigate  config user saml edit "okta-idp" set cert "Fortinet_Factory" set entity-id "https://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx:10443/remote/saml/metadata/" set single-sign-on-url "https://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx:10443/remote/saml/login/" set single-logout-url "https://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx:10443/remote/saml/logout/" set idp-entity-id "http://www.okta.com/exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" set idp-single-sign-on-url "https://xxxxx-url.apac.xxxx.com/app/apac-xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/sso/saml" set idp-cert "REMOTE_Cert_1" set user-name "username" set digest-method sha256 next end xxxxxfw01 (corporate-saml) # show config user group edit "corporate-saml" set member "okta-idp" config match edit 1

I'm trying to understand some Fortinet firewall logs but I'm not sure I fully understand what is being logged by the firewall when it comes to direction (Incoming vs Outgoing)For example:srcip=7.7.7.7 dstip=192.168.10.50 srcport=45845 dstport=80 srcintf="port5" srcintfrole="wan" dstintf="port10" dstintfrole="lan" proto=6 direction="outgoing"I'm not sure why that would be categorized as outgoing instead of incoming. Since the traffic appears to be initiated from an external source. Would it not be incoming traffic? Or is it because the last interface is it hits is the LAN interface and it's "outgoing" from there?The idea is i want to alert on SIEM level for IPS detections initiated by internal devices not comming from the external wan !! Please anyone can help in that!!

Good Morning! I am new to Fortinet, having just moved our company from Cisco ASAs with Firepower to approximately 30 Fortigates, mostly models 40F, but a few of our bigger sites are using 60F and 81F. Currently running firmware version 7.2.6, build 1575. We are now using FortiManager Cloud Central Management & Orchestration, v7.4.1-build4261 230914 (GA) and need to learn how to re-create the global policies that we used to apply using Cisco Firepower, now using FortiManager. Policy-wise, the 40F's are configured almost all the same, except for an extra interface or Virtual IP or two.The other sites have a bit more going on, hosting many more virtual IPs, using policy routes, etc. There are some policies we would like to apply globally, where we can make the change in one place and it would apply to all of the devices in a group. The main example would be to have a policy rule to completely block a constantly changing list of countries from ever accessing our sys

Hello!We have a problem with Fortiweb 7.0.6: when logging in over the https and AD-authentication to manage the device, the browser shows only blank page. I've tried to log in from another server and using in-private mode, also using another browser, nothing helps. My user account was recently added. Older users can log in and see the admin page successfully. The secondary Fortiweb acts the same way. I can log in via ssh. I even disabled http and https access methods on the management port temporarily but that didn't help: when I put them back and connect with https, log in, still blank page. I wanted to kill the admin httpsd process but how to identify that one? Since this is a web server serving many webpages, I don't want to kill all the httpsd processes, only the one that serves the admin log in.

This Tech-Tip desribes how FortiSwitch OS up till 7.4.0, can have issues with TLS 1.3. This is still an issue with 7.4.2! How come, this is a problem with latest browser versions, like Chrome & Firefox?   Are FortiSwitches telling it supports TLS 1.3, but in reality, it dosen't?

HelloWe have FOS 6.2.x and want to upgrade to 7.0.13.In the meantime we have some old FAP 220B that we want to keep but without breaking the compatibility.The following command on another FOS 7.0.13 shows that FAP 220B is compatible with FOS 7.0.13.config wireless-controller wtp-profileNow I need to check which FAP firmware version is required/recommended on my FAP 220B so it can be compatible with my FOS 7.0.13.Tried to check on document "FortiAP and FortiOS Compatibility Matrix" but couldn't find anything on FAP 220B, I guess because it is EoL/EoSL.Any idea where I can find this info?

Hello everyone! I have tried a Fortigate 501E to an Active Passive Cluster. But after I configured the high availability settings the firewall crashed and paralysed the connection in the company.

Hi,after updating a Fortigate 60E from version 7.0.7 to version 7.0.8 the RDP via SSL WEB VPN no longer works with any PC, the error "Connection closed!" always appears. If I perform a NAT of the port 3389 from the WAN to the LAN I enter the PC correctly.I have changed all the possible parameters but I cannot log in, whether I enter my credentials in the bookmark or enter them by hand.I have already tried to follow this KB but nothing, error: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Unable-to-take-RDP-of-machines-via-SSL-VPN-web/ta- p / 192454Has anyone had the same problem?

Hi We have a SSLVPN Web portal on one Fortigate. When using it to get to resources behind a tunnel on another Fortigate, it seems to NAT the traffic despite the policy having NAT turned off.  FG2 sees the source address of traffic to AWS being 192.168.1.1 instead of 10.10.1.1 Can anyone explain what's going on here?
