Creating or editing Security Fabric connectors

You can create a fabric connector on FortiAnalyzer for FortiClient EMS and FortiMail to execute operations on endpoints.

Once configured, fabric connectors enrich incident response related actions available in FortiSoC.

To create an Security Fabric connecter:

1. Go to Fabric View.
2. Click the Fabric Connectors tab, then click Create New.
3. Click the FortiClient EMS or FortiMail tile. The Create New Fabric Connector dialog opens.
4. In the Configuration tab, configure the connector settings and click OK.

   Property	Description
   Name	Type a name for the fabric connector.
   Description	(Optional) Type a description for the fabric connector.
   IP\FQDN	Type the IP address or FQDN for the fabric device.
   Username	Type the username for the fabric device.
   Password	Type the password for the fabric device.

5. Click the Actions tab to view the actions available with the Security Fabric connector, then click OK.

After the fabric connector is created, playbooks configured in FortiSoC can use the connector to execute automated actions.
