Configuring FortiWeb

A FortiWeb can be added to the Security Fabric on the root FortiGate.

To add FortiWeb to the Security Fabric in the GUI:
  1. In FortiOS, ensure that FortiGate is prepared to add FortiWeb to the Security Fabric. See Preparing FortiGate for supported Security Fabric devices.

  2. (Optional) In FortiOS, configure pre-authorization of FortiWeb to enable the device to join the Security Fabric as soon as it connects. See Configuring pre-authorization of supported Security Fabric devices.

  3. On FortiWeb, edit the FortiGate Fabric Connector settings. See Fabric Connector: Single Sign On with FortiGate. The Connection Status is currently Authorize pending.

  4. In FortiOS, authorize the FortiWeb. See Authorizing supported connectors.

    If FortiWeb is pre-authorized, you can skip this step.

  5. Go to Security Fabric > Physical Topology or Security Fabric > Logical Topology to view more information.
