Description
This article describes that if firewall policy is set to flow-mode inspection, it will not be possible to apply web filter or antivirus profile to it. This is because both Antivirus and web filter by default will be created with Feature-set in Proxy.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
The profile will not be visible in the drop-down menu in those cases.
Go to Security Profiles -> Web Filter, select the profile and next to 'Feature set', select 'Flow-based' and then select 'OK'.
OR Go to 'Security Profiles ' -> 'Anti-Virus' , select the profile and choose 'Flow-Based' from option Feature set.
Go back to the ' Policy & Object ' -> ' Firewall policy ' and edit policy to select the profile 'test' web filter and Anti-virus from above examples.
