Question

Reverse cli connection from fortimanager to fortigate (Backup mode)

Hi!

In the past, it was possible to connect from Fortimanager to fortigate via "ssh" session also in backup mode (even when the fortigate was behind a NAT device). That "ssh"-session is tunneled inside FGFM connection.

In the latest FMG versions, this feature seems to be only available, when Fortigate is managed by Fortimanager.

Is there any way to bring this feature back, when operating ADOM in backup mode.

I mean this button in System Information box:

Per documentation "When creating an ADOM in Backup Mode, the ADOM is considered Read Only, where you cannot make changes to the ADOM and managed devices from FortiManager." So it makes sense to not have CLI access to the FortiGate (even readonly access is not needed).

If a feature was removed, it is unlikely to be re-instated, but you could still ask for it from the local Sales Representative

Seems, that this feature exists again at least in version 7.4.5 (for example in 7.2.8 it didn't exist)
