Question

REST API Availability in FIPS-CC mode

Hello everyone,

As for i know, REST API Administrators should be disabled by default in FIPS-CC mode:

I'm new to Fortinet, and i'm currently configuring a Fortigate61F with firmware version v7.2.8 build9703 (FIPS-CC-72-5), downloaded following instructions from this article (Extended Support for v7.0 FIPS-CC Certifi... - Fortinet Community).

Enabling FIPS mode was done via console following this guide: (How to enable FIPS-CC mode - Fortinet Community)

Command "get system status" shows "FIPS-CC mode: enable"
Creating an admin from: System - Administrators - New - REST API Admin, succeed.
APIs works as expected.

I haven't found anything related REST API in FIPS-CC mode in the FortiOS 7.2.8 Release Note.

Is this the intended behavior or i have made some mistakes enabling FIPS mode?

Thanks in advance!
