| Description | This article describes how to replace the IP address in a captive portal or authentication portal with FQDN or domain name. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution |
By default, the FortiGate will be using its own IP address for the captive portal page:
To change/hide the IP address to FQDN/domain name, perform the following command:
config firewall auth-portal
Important notes: Make sure that the client DNS will resolve 'domainname.com' into the FortiGate IP address before inputting the above command:
Test the captive portal again after that and it will be possible to observe that the IP was replaced with the FQDN/domain name.
