Configuring FortiGuard server

The FortiGuard server is used for license validation. You can customize the FortiGuard server in the following ways:

• Override the FortiGuard server by selecting the Override FortiGuard Server option and specifying a custom FortiGuard server.

• Configure FortiData to connect through an explicit (non-transparent) web proxy server to the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) if you cannot connect to it directly. The FortiData will then connect to the proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method, as described in RFC 2616 (http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt).

  To use explicit proxy for FortiGuard server:

  1. Go to System > FortiGuard.
  2. Enable Use Explicit Proxy for FortiGuard Server.
  3. Configure the following options:

     Proxy Address	Enter either the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the web proxy.
     Proxy Port	Enter the port number on which the web proxy listens for connections.
     Username	If the proxy requires authentication, enter the FortiData’s login name on the web proxy.
     Password	If the proxy requires authentication, enter the password for the FortiData’s login name on the web proxy.
