Configuring FortiSOAR to Use FQDN Instead of IP Address

Notes

  • Ensure the FQDN is properly configured in your DNS records to resolve to the server’s IP address.
  • Make sure SSL/TLS certificates for your FQDN are installed in NGINX to avoid browser security warnings.

 

To configure FortiSOAR to be accessible using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) instead of an IP address, follow these steps:

  1. Access the FortiSOAR server via SSH

    • Use your preferred SSH client to connect to the FortiSOAR server.
  2. Navigate to the NGINX configuration directory

    • Go to the directory where the NGINX configuration files are located. The path is /etc/nginx.
  3. Edit the NGINX configuration file

    • Open the nginx.conf file using vi.
  4. Modify the configuration

    • Find the http {} block in the configuration file.
    • Add the following block of text inside the http {} section
    •  server {
      listen 443;
      server_name 10.180.1.25; # Replace with the current IP address
      return 301 http://fortisoar.com$request_uri; # Replace with your desired FQDN
      }
    • Ensure you replace:

      • 10.180.1.25 with the current IP address of the FortiSOAR server.
      • fortisoar.com with your FQDN.
    • Refer screenshot attached for better clarity 
  5. Save the changes

    • Press Esc, type :wq, and press Enter to save and exit the editor.
  6. Restart the NGINX service

    • Apply the changes by restarting the NGINX service:
    • systemctl restart nginx
  7. Test the configuration

    • Open a web browser and navigate to the fortisoar server with the ip (e.g., https://10.10.10.10). Verify that the redirection is working correctly to thr FQDN.
