Hello!

 

I have a new configuration fortinet blocking Skype and P2P application, however , it is possible to authenticate in Skype but group conversations and file transfer Skype are blocked in addition to slow down the application . I need Skype is fully permitted for a specific user , how I can set a policy that allows me this configuration especially because skype must be enabled for the rest of the organization?

    Hello,

     

    If I understand correctly, you want Skype to be allowed for one specific user and blocked for everyone else?

     

    You can do this by making a firewall policy for this specific user, either by using a source IP address (if the user has static IP address) or adding a user to the "Source User" in the policy. This user can be created locally on the FortiGate or retrieved from Active Directory using Fortinet Single Sign On / LDAP. The policy needs to have an application control profile allowing Skype, and the policy should be placed above the general skype deny policy.
