Creating or editing Security Fabric connectors

You can create a Security Fabric connector on FortiAnalyzer for FortiClient EMS, FortiMail, and FortiCASB. Once configured, Security Fabric connectors enrich incident response related actions available in FortiSoC.

To create a Security Fabric connector:

1. Go to Fabric View > Fabric > Connectors, and click Create New.

   The Create New Fabric Connector dialog is displayed.

2. Under Security Fabric, click FortiClient EMS, FortiMail, or FortiCASB.
3. In the Configuration tab, configure the following options for:

   FortiClient EMS

   Property		Description
   Type		Select FortiClient EMS or FortiClient EMS Cloud.
   Name		Type a name for the Security Fabric connector.
   Description		(Optional) Type a description for the Security Fabric connector.
   FortiClient EMS	IP/FQDN	Type the IP address or FQDN for the Security Fabric device.
   	Username	Type the username for the Security Fabric device.
   	Password	Type the password for the Security Fabric device.
   FortiClient EMS Cloud	Account ID	Super users can type the account ID of the FortiClient EMS Cloud instance. For non-super users, the field is automatically populated with the default account ID. The FortiAnalyzer device must be registered with FortiCloud to create and update the connector as a non-super user. The FortiClient EMS must be v7.0 or later. After the FortiClient EMS Cloud connector is created, the connector's health-check sends an authentication request with SNI (the account ID) to the EMS instance. The authentication request from the FortiAnalyzer device must be approved in EMS: Administration > Fabric Devices. For more information, see FortiClient on the Fortinet Docs Library.
