To access the GUI console of the FortiAuthenticator-VM, log in to its CLI console via SSH, and then connect the public IP address assigned to the instance.

  1. On OCI, go to Core Infrastructure > Compute > Instances, and click the name of the FortiAuthenticator-VM instance that is running.
  2. Copy the Public IP Address and OCID.

  3. Connect to the public IP address using an SSH client.
    1. Log in with admin as the username and the OCID as the password.
    2. Using the CLI, add the public IP address to the allowed-hosts. For example:

  4. In a browser, go to https://<Public IP Address>.

    The browser will display a certificate error message, because the default FortiAuthenticator certificate is self-signed and not recognized by browsers.

    You can proceed past this message.
