Ansible module for Forticlient EMS Cloud???

[systemgeek]

Does anyone know how I can use ansible to update Forticlient EMS Cloud?  I specifically want to update the ZTNA Application Catalogs and Endpoint profiles ZTNA Destinations.

Many many times.  I want to update the EMS to define the ZTNA Destination Applications it pushes out to the clients.  And to make it even harder we use the Cloud version of EMS.

From what I have seen there does not seem to be any Ansible module for EMS Cloud or in house version.

Next step I guess is open a ticket to verify.

Hello,

I think it is the best idea at this point.

But you cans till continue to feed this post, if you any news to share concerning this subject.

I did Ansible for Firewalls a couple of years ago. Just this week I am checking out Terraform. Last week I tried PowerFGT and PowerShell https://mobdro.bio/ .

So far, I would suggest that Ansible is the winner for builds and changes. Probs not the winner for reporting.

Why change? I need a windows based portable solution.

I opened a ticket with support.  Will let the forum know what the results are when I get them.

I got a  response from Support.  At this time FortiClient EMS and EMS Cloud do not have ansible or terraform support.  Nor are there any plans to support them at this time.

Doing more research it seems the FortiClient EMS (onsite version) does seem to support HTTPs API.  There are questions if the Cloud version of FortiClient EMS supports HTTPs API.
