Technical Note: FortiCloud remote management and dashboard monitor widgets use TLS v1.0

[amills]

Description

The FortiOS default setting for administration HTTPS/SSL connections:

config system global
    set admin-https-ssl-versions tlsv1-1 tlsv1-2
end

is not compatible with the FortiCloud remote management feature and the “live” dashboard widgets (“Resource Monitor”, “Session Monitor” and “Bandwidth Monitor”).

Scope

FortiOS v5.2.2 / FortiCloud v2.4.2

Solution

The minimum setting required is:

config system global
    set admin-https-ssl-versions tlsv1-0
end
