Hi

Due to the reduction in the maximum certificate lifetime, we need to frequently upload local certificates to FortiWeb in the future.

My environment uses a true transparent proxy mode, can I change it to use Let's Encrypt? If I do so, the certificates used on FortiWeb and the real server will be different. Will this cause any connection issues?

Or is there a way to upload a local certificate and have it automatically applied to all server pool members?

Thanks.

Hello Kyle,

Yes you can use the Lets encrypt certificate, please reffer the below kb link

To upload and apply the certificate to automatically to all the server pool members its not possible, instead for automation or simplification use RESTful API or anisble.
