Hello everyone. I want to set up GUI access in my Fortigates to use SSL certificate (HTTPS). In my homologation firewall using OS version 6.4.7 the HTTPS server certificate option is available for me to choose the certificate I want to use. But in my two production firewalls that use OS version 6.4.2 this option is not available. My question is whether this option is only available in version 6.4.7, if yes, would you have any way to configure GUI access to use HTTPS otherwise?
The SSL/HTTPS certificate could also be mapped from the CLI by the following command:
config system global
set auth-cert <Certificate Name >
end
Hi Raphael,
it will be available on all FortiGate versions, I can speak only from 5.2 and newer.
On CLI you will be able to see/set it here:
config system global
set admin-server-cert "mywebservercert"
end
On GUI, lacking the description, it is supposed to be here:
GUI > System (on global VDOM, if you have VDOMs) > Settings
And there "HTTPS server certificate"
If there is no "Settings", you are in a VDOM, you will have to switch to global.
An indicator, at least for me, whether I am in the VDOM is on the browser address bar, it says vdom=<vdomname>, for example
https:/..../ng/firewall/policy/policy/standard?vdom=root
Best regards,
Markus
