Configuring web proxy tunneling for FDN

After the FortiFlex license has been installed, the FortiGate-VM must validate the license on FDN servers. You can also configure a proxy to accomplish this.

To configure web proxy tunneling for FDN:

config system autoupdate tunneling

set status enable

set address "<web proxy IP address or FQDN>"

set port <web proxy port>

set username "<username>"

set password <password>

end

It may take a while for FortiGate-VM to be able to validate the VM license and update UTM signatures from FortiGuard.

The following shows the output from get system status when the FortiGate-VM has completed the validation and update:
