Enabling updates through a web proxy

If the FortiManager system’s built-in FDS must connect to the FDN through a web (HTTP or HTTPS) proxy, you can specify the IP address and port of the proxy server.

If the proxy requires authentication, you can also specify a user name and password.

To configure FGD updates through web proxy:

Use the following command in the FortiManager CLI:

config fmupdate web-spam web-proxy

set address <string>

set mode {proxy | tunnel}

set password <passwd>

set port <integer>

set status {enable | disable}

end

To configure FDS updates through web proxy settings:

Use the following command in the FortiManager CLI:

config fmupdate av-ips web-proxy

set address <string>

set mode {proxy | tunnel}

set password <passwd>

set port <integer>

set status {enable | disable}

set username <string>

end

Tunnel mode (default) uses port TCP/443. Proxy mode uses port TCP/80.

This feature cannot be configured in the FortiManager GUI.

For more information about the variables, see the FortiManager CLI Reference.
