Question

Wildcard FQDN objects

GoodMorning.

I'm trying to build a filter to allow access to MIcrosoft Office365 online services (Mail, above all) for a not-internet-allowed network.

The users on this network have to be able to use Office365 only.

 

The Microsoft documentation is a pain.

There are lots of IPs and, if you want to use FQDNs, they require the use of wildcard such as *.office365.com

I can create wildcard fqdn object, but I canont use them in a policy.

 

Is there a way to use wildcard FQDN objects with fortigate?

Is there an alternative way to build such a filter?

version v5.4.5,build1138 (GA)

 

Many thanks for your kind help

    Your better off creating a one off Web filtering profile that's blocks all categories and then use the static filter to allow office365. You can then add an application senor to lock it down even further.

    Hello NetJo,

     

    there is a KB-article regarding this topic: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD35297

    The suggested solution is to use the webfilter feature as mentioned before.
