Dear friends, good morning.
In my FG we have an ssl vpn configured and we want to access without using the public IP and use the FDQN. Could you tell me if it is possible to make this configuration?
Good morning,
If you do not want to use a public IP of the WAN port for SSLVPN, then you can configure DDNS instead and use for SSLVPN.
Configure DDNS for SSLVPN: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Configure-DDNS-for-SSL-VPN/ta-p/194137
Additionally, you can use the following article to configure DDNS in general:

Configuring DDNS is also effective if the WAN port is configured with either a dynamic IP address or a private IP address.
Yes it's possible but you have to create a publicly resolvable domain (FQDN).
You need to create a DNS A entry pointing to the public IP of the Fortigate. This configuration is done with a DNS provider that is usually a paid service.
