  1. Set the VDOM to the Internet VDOM. For example, if the Internet VDOM is 'External' but is set to 'root' under 'config sys central-management' settings, FortiGate will not be accessed from FortiCloud. In order to get access, the VDOM needs to be set to the Internet VDOM. In this case, it is 'External'.
