set banned-cipher prevents pushing the device configuration on trial Fortigate VM

[mayar]

Hi there,

I'm having issue in a lab (build by me) that i've created with trial version of FortiGate VMs (x2), FortiManager (x1) and FortiAnalyzer (x1).

I've added two FortiGates to the FortiManager, and everything was working without issues, untill the first device installation.

The FortiManager keeps showing error in the installation of device configuration, after digging around, i found out that the issue occurs because of the "set banned-cipher" command. This command seems to be not available in the trial fortivm, and in the FortiManager I wasn't able to remove the setting from the CLI configuration (because it requires at least 1 cipher that has to be banned).

The running versions of the devices are;

FortiGate VMs KVM 7.4.4 build 2662 (Feature)

FortiManager v7.4.3-build2487 240514 (GA)

FortiAnalyzer (while it doesn't have to do with the issue) v7.4.3-build2487 240514 (GA)

When i deselect the banned-cipher and click apply (in the CLI configuration of the device) the ciphers SHA1, SHA256 and SHA384 are reselected again!

Did anyone encounter this issue?

is there a solution for this issue?

Guys, any update on this issue?

I dont think its an issue per-say more a limitation of the trial VM, those params might not apply.

I see now, it must be that.. well not much to operate and enjoy together with fortimanager.
