VMware ESXi FortiGate-VM as ZTNA gateway 7.2.5
FortiOS supports deploying a VMware ESXi FortiGate-VM directly as a zero trust application gateway using the OVF template (.vapp). You can configure zero trust network access (ZTNA)-related parameters such as the EMS server, external and internal interface IP addresses, and the application server mapping, during OVF deployment. The deployment also bootstraps ZTNA policy, authentication scheme, rules, and user group configurations.
