Web Interface Fortigate 100a

[TMuh]

Can anyone point me in the right direction of why I can' t access Web Interface of a Fortigate 100a? Just " acquired" this firewall from previous consultant that was removed from the premise. I assumed that I just needed to access the " internal" port via https. I can access the CLI through console cable or putty by IP but cannot get the web interface up via web browser. I am new to Fortinet products so I' m still " learning" as I go. Thanks, Tom

Bonsoir Tom, In CLI mode, try this : conf global conf system interface show Then see if for some interface command " set allowaccess" is set. If yes, then " set allowaccess" lists the way for accessing to the Forti product. If not, you can type : conf int <name of the interface> set allowaccess ssh https http ping next end Then you' ll access to the Forti product in SSH, HTTP and HTTPS. Don' t forget to check what' s the IP configuration (by default, 192.168.1.99). Besides, I think better to do a factory reset : always in CLI mode, type : conf global execute factoryreset Then by default IP is 192.168.1.99, login is " admin" (without quote) and no password in HTTPS mode and SSH (hummmm I' m not sure that SSH is enabled by default...)

Could be possible that the Admin ports for HTTP/HTTPS were changed and/or the admin login option was disabled on the interface you are attempting to connect to the fgt from. You can reset/change the admin access port via the following code; the second section enables the admin login feature on the " <interface name>" (use the real name of the interface) you are trying to connect from.

 config system global
 set admin-port 80
 set admin-sport 443
 end
 
 config system interface
 edit " <interface name>" 
 set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http fgfm
 next
 end

If worst comes to worst -- you can always " exec factoryreset" on the fgt and start from scratch.
