  • View the FortiWeb on topology pages.

  • Create a dashboard Fabric Device widget to view FortiWeb data.

  • Configure single sign-on using SAML.

To authorize a FortiWeb to join the Security Fabric:
  1. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors and double-click the Security Fabric Setup card.
  2. Beside Device authorization, click Edit. The Device authorization pane opens.

    3. Click Browse to upload the certificate.
    4. For Action, select Accept.
