FortiDeceptor requires REST API access to FortiGate.

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

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

  3. In FortiDeceptor, integrate the device:
