Import config to FortiProxy via RESTful APIs

FortiConverter can use the REST API provided by FortiOS to import the converted objects from Bluecoat conversions into your FortiProxy.

Start Installation

1. In the tuning page of the conversion, click Install Config at the top-right corner. This button would exist only when there is at least one connectable device saved in FortiConverter.
2. Select the device to be imported and click Connect.
3. Click One-Click Install to start importing.



4. View the installation logs and wait for the importing to be completed.
5. To interrupt the installation, click Stop Importing to stop the installation.



6. Download Logs can be clicked to download the log file from importing. The CLI of failed objects would be printed in the file, and the user can copy and paste the CLI into the terminal of the device to see what error occurs.

View Import Result

When the REST API import is finished, the statistics of imported objects would be shown in the conversion summary page.

By clicking the number in the Import Failed column, the failed objects would be listed in a table. In the table of each kind of object, the import result would be shown in the right column.

Import Individual objects

Users can also import objects individually in the object pages.

1. Select objects to be imported into the FortiProxy.
2. Right click and select REST API Import.

It should be reminded that the prerequisite objects should be imported first.

For example, before importing an address group, all the address objects inside the address group should be imported.
