This article describes how to troubleshoot unexpected 'webfilter-force-off' configuration during FortiManager installation. |
| Scope |
FortiManager. |
| Solution |
The user may come across the following unexpected configuration, where FortiManager is trying to set the status of “webfilter-force-off” to 'enable' during an installation, even if it is not intended to be in an 'enabled' state.
config system fortiguard set webfilter-force-off enable end
'webfilter-force-off' status is set to 'disable' as verified on the Policy & Objects page.
This issue can generally happen if there are any System Templates assigned to the device where the 'FortiGuard' section within the System Template is disabled.
If the 'FortiGuard' section is not enabled, FortiManager by default will attempt to enforce the following parameters, which may override the ADOM policy level configuration.
config system fortiguard set antispam-force-off enable set webfilter-force-off enable end
To rectify this, enable the 'FortiGuard' section within the System Template or create a new System Template while enabling 'FortiGuard'. Subsequently, FortiManager should no longer override the ADOM policy level configuration and set the status of 'webfilter-force-off' to 'enable'. |
