not able to select address object created using wildcard fqdn

[kinmun]

i created a new address object using the wildcard FQDN option.

after creating the object, i try to add it to an existing LAN to WAN policy, but was not able to as the address does not appear.

there are already existing address objects created using ip address.

do i create a seperate policy for FQDN address objects ??

i am using FortiOS 5.4.4

Hi Kinmun,

answer is easy - you cannot use a wildcard FQDN address object within a firewall policy. It's only possible with "normal" (without wildcard) FQDNs.

Problem is, that the firewall cannot resolve a wildcard FQDN.

To be honest - it was possible to use a wildcard FQDN address object in previous FortiOS versions, but that was a mistake.

Regards,

Sylvia
