Question

FortiWEB VM configure with FortiGate

Hi,

 

I'm beginner at FortiWEB, but I want to deploy FortiWEB between az existing FortiGate and HTTPS servers. I'm using VIP policys on FortiGate unit, and I haven't got an idea, how to forward the external connections to FortiWEB. I think the good method isn't the VIP Policy... because If I want to forward two different external IP-s to two different internal IP (which are sitting int he same subnet) through the FortiWEB I have to define the FortiGate VIP address point to FortiWEB address and it shouldn't be working just one scenario.

 

Thanks,

Szabolcs

    Hi Szabolcs,

    It's a good approach for a first installation check documentation and examples available

     

    The easier and straightforward way to configure fortiweb is in reverse-proxy mode (default)

     

    You can get the picture in this step-by-step video

    https://video.fortinet.com/products/fortiweb/5.3

     

    (it's for an outdated firmware version, but your questions are answered there)

     

    Obviously https://docs.fortinet.com/product/fortiweb/6.3

    has everything to start with and more.

    Hi Abel,

     

    I already read the documentation and watched the video, but I'm not closer... :( I want to use FortiWEB as a reverse proxy mode. Can you tell me which chapter is explaining the configuration in the FortiGate unit?

     

    Thanks,

    Szabolcs
