Read, read-write mode Fortigate managed by Fortimanager

Hello there, Since v4 MR3 P12, a warning login message promts you to enter a read-only or read-write mode, if the FortiGate is being managed by a FortiManager. This with the objective of only allowing changes from the FortiManager and keeping the device' s configuration in sync. I don' t have a problem with this idea, and it obviously makes sense and is the best practice. However, there are some cases on which I want to access the web-interface of the single device, but with this mode selection is starting to get annoying. Is there a way to disable this prompt, or to set the value to always read-write mode? Thanks a lot, Garsa

    I think the only way is to set your FortiGate to backup-(only)-mode config system central-management set mode backup
