Hi,

Is it possible to delete default "admin" in fortianalyzer 1000C running 5.0 GA patch 3?

thanks

Try creating a new administrator account with the same profile and then login in and delete the "admin". You will need the same access profile acount and have to delete any active sessions for that "admin" so logout of the admin account b4 you try to delete it.

Create a super admin account.

Log in with said account

Rename the default admin account to admin_old

Delete old admin account

I cannot rename the admin account by using GUI or CLI (no command to do that), running v5.0 (GA patch 3).

Delete the admin account from GUI and CLI returned error, i logged in my own account using same access profile:

diagnose system admin-session list does not show admin session

for FMG and FAZ, delete default admin is supported from 5.4

so create a new super_user admin to login and then you can delete that default admin

just make sure there is no session to that default admin "diagnose system admin-session list" otherwise delete will fail

Thanks

My apologies.

I did understand "FortiMail" not FAZ/FMG;
