EnvironmentFortiGate 6.4.4FortiClient EMS 7.0.4 (Cloud)FortiClient 7.0.5 So I am just starting to look at the Web Filtering module and have some questions: Q.Is there any dependency on FortiGate Firewall or can this be ran independently given a lot of my users are WFH? Q.Once configured, I see there were prompts to install the Web Filter extension for Chrome and Edge on the detected browsers.The Chrome extension was found and installed OK but when I tried the one for Edge (Chromium version) it took me to a blank Add-ons page which displayed nothing.Is this a known bug?Tried installed the native Chrome extension for Edge but I was still getting prompts. Q.Is there any work required on the ForitiGuard setup? I presume that this is part of the licence set you get with Cloud EMS.

How do i find out what is inside the custom1 list under Local Categories in Web Filter ?What URL are inside this custom1  

Hello, forum. I need help ASAP. So I decided I wanted two-factor authentication on my Fortigate-30E. I was supposed to receive an authentication code or something like that to my email but I never received it. I'm now unable to get into my fortigate (GUI and CLI) because it is requesting a Fortitoken. I went to the Fortitoken page and now have a free license but I would think the previously stated activation comes first. I don't have a license for Support and I'm not apart of any organization. I'm just a aspiring network engineer that wanted something to practice on at home. Can someone help?

Everything had been working just fine. Then last night I got this error code (-20199). I thought the VPN was down. Called work this morning everything is working fine on their end. I checked with their IT department and he doesn't know/hasn't hear of this problem.

Hi community! I'm interested in knowing if there is a way to download an installed firmware image from a FortiGate device through any transfer protocol such as SCP, FTP, TFTP, etc. ? According to this article we can actually push .out firmware images to a device via SCP with the command scp firmware.out admin@<IP>:fgt-image  What I am looking for is exactly the opposite. Is it possible? Thanks! 

Good afternoon!I am trying to connect two FortiGate 40F in HA and two different ISPs with a FortiAP 221e on the internal network. The architecture of the formed network is as follows:   the connections with the ISPs through the ISPs work correctly and the connection in HA also works as it should (I make the wired connection from the internal Switch to a computer, I run ping to google and when I disconnect the FG that is working as primary , only one packet is lost, making the switch from primary to secondary correctly). The problem is that when I perform such disconnection from the primary FG, the FortiAP goes offline and takes a long time to reconnect, leading to all client connections to the AP being disconnected.I would appreciate if someone could guide me on the following:Why will there be such a delay in reconnection to the secondary FG?Is this delay because I am using TPLinks Switches?Is there any particular configuration for the FortiAP in this situation?Thank you

Bear with me everyone, I have a very minimal knowledge of Fortinet products.  I can barely navigate using command line in these firewalls.  The Firewall I am working with is, from what I am seeing, an EOL product, the Fortigate 1240B.  I need to capture some simple information from this firewall for QA purposes.  I need to capture things like the BIOS Version, the FW Version, and the HW Revision. All I have been able to find is a FW Version, whether its accessing the fw_mgmt or the GUI.  Using command line I typed in "execute revision list config" and that gave me the FW Version.  I tried rebooting the firewall to go into the "BIOS" to see if it would give me any other information and I couldn't find anything.  Again, newbie user to one of these Firewalls, I usually work with CISCO and Redhat exclusively.  Any help you can provide would be awesome! Thank you in advance!

We have about a hundread FGTs for a retail customer managed by FMG-VM. And we're about to roll out a FAP per FGT for 100 of them. All have the same guest SSID/VAP. But when I looked at AP Manager, under the SSID tab I seem to be able to see configured VAPs for each device(FGT). So when we need to change something on the common VAP with AP Manager, we need to change it one by one in GUI.Or, am I misinterpreting the menu and there is actually a way to set just one config of of VAP and link it to all 100 FGTs? If not, I'm now thinking to set up a CLI template group/CLI templates to configure the VAP and all other necessary "wireless-controller" config so that when something needs to be changed, we just need to change the template and push it to all FGTs. FMG-VM: v6.4.8 Thanks, Toshi

Please try to stay with me on this longer post... I've tried to shorten it up but there is a lot to relay on this one and I appreciate your taking the time and reading through it.. First off, Let me elaborate on that Subject a little. My user is currently configured to receive a token into my email account when I do things such as: log into any of our Gates, Connect to IPSEC VPN's, Log into our VMware Horizon virtual desktops, etc... I am receiving the token via a RADIUS Client on the FA where the authentication group ultimately looks at our AD environment via LDAP and/or FSSO so I can use the same credentials across several platforms. This works fine with the exception of an occasional delay in the SMTP conversation(s) which will occasionally cause the login to timeout before I can get the token input -  Other than that, I have been using this method w/o issue for a couple of months now BUT most everyone in the company are using FortiToken Mobile. I was recently ta
