Question

Fortigate VDOM and FortiManager

Hi all,

One of our customer is currently managing Fortigate device using FortiManager. The Firewall has VDOM activated. On the firewall, I created one admin user (with prof_admin admin profile, so RW access) to allow management of one VDOM only (root). When the admin user connects to the Fortigate, it receives a prompt that 'This FortiGate is currently managed by a FortiManager device' but the Login Read-Write button is missing. So the admin user has only read access even if the prof_admin (RW access) is assign to him...

What can I do to solve this problem ??

Regards,

HA

    Here are snippets from the config and screenshots:

     

    config system accprofile
        edit "Level Admin"
            set secfabgrp read-write
            set ftviewgrp read-write
            set authgrp read-write
            set sysgrp read-write
            set netgrp read-write
            set loggrp read-write
            set fwgrp read-write
            set vpngrp read-write
            set utmgrp read-write
            set wifi read-write
        next
    end
    config system admin
        edit "jacob"
            set accprofile "Level Admin"
            set vdom "Level"
        next
    end
    config system vdom-property
        edit "Level"
            set description "property limits for vdom Level"
            set snmp-index 3
        next
    end

    In the profile, you need to enable the system in custom mode and select only the configuration section.

    You cannot add just a single VDOM to FortiManager, because the FortiManager connection is a global setting. The only thing you can do is assign a specific VDOM to a specific ADOM on FortiManager.
