Description

This article describes how to enable only HTTP Administrative Access on the FortiGate interface.

Scope

All FortiGate firmware.

Solution

Unable to select only HTTP as administrative access on FortiGate:

To resolve this issue, go to GUI -> System -> Settings and Disable 'Redirect to HTTPS', or via CLI:

CLI:

config sys global
set admin-https-redirect disable
end

After disabling 'Redirect to HTTPS', there is no option to select HTTP on the interface settings.
Enter the following commands:

config system interface

Test (interface) # edit port1

Test (port1) # show

config system interface

edit "port1"

set vdom "root"

set ip 10.9.11.43 255.255.240.0

set allowaccess ping https ssh telnet fgfm

set type physical

set snmp-index 1

end

Test (port1) # set allowaccess http

Test # end

Now it should be possible to access FortiGate using an HTTP port.
