Enabling remote access from FortiCloud

Enable remote access to your device from FortiCloud.

The device must be registered with FortiCloud to enable remote access.

You cannot enable remote access from FortiCloud if the FortiAnalyzer is managed by a FortiManager. You must disable the management before enabling remote access.

For a FortiAnalyzer high availability (HA) cluster, only the primary unit needs to register and enable remote access from FortiCloud.

1. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
2. In the License Information widget, click the edit icon for FortiCloud.

   The Cloud Management dialog opens.

3. Enable Cloud Management.
4. In the Password field, type the password for the FortiCloud account.

   The Serial Number and FortiCloud Account ID/Email are automatically populated.

5. Click OK.

To enable remote access from FortiCloud using the CLI:
