Configuring ADOMs
To use administrative domains, the admin administrator must first enable the feature, create ADOMs, and assign existing FortiManager administrators to ADOMs.
|
Enabling ADOMs moves non-global configuration items to the |
|
|
ADOMs must be enabled before adding FortiMail, FortiWeb, and FortiCarrier devices to the FortiManager system. FortiMail and FortiWeb devices are added to their respective pre-configured ADOMs. |
|
|
In FortiManager 5.0.3 and later, FortiGate and FortiCarrier devices can no longer be grouped into the same ADOM. FortiCarrier devices should be grouped into a dedicated FortiCarrier ADOM. |
Within the CLI, you can enable ADOMs and set the administrator ADOM. To configure the ADOMs, you must use the GUI.
To Enable/disable ADOMs:
Enter the following CLI command:
config system global
set adom-status {enable | disable}
end
An administrative domain has two modes: normal and advanced. Normal mode is the default device mode. In normal mode, a FortiGate unit can only be added to a single administrative domain. In advanced mode, you can assign different VDOMs from the same FortiGate to multiple administrative domains.
|
|
Enabling the advanced mode option will result in more complicated management scenarios. It is recommended only for advanced users. |
To change ADOM device modes:
Enter the following CLI command:
config system global
set adom-mode {advanced | normal}
end
To assign an administrator to an ADOM:
Enter the following CLI command:
config system admin user
edit <name>
set adom <adom_name>
next
end
where <name> is the administrator user name and <adom_name> is the ADOM name.
Concurrent ADOM Access
System administrators can Enable/disable concurrent access to the same ADOM if multiple administrators are responsible for managing a single ADOM. When enabled, multiple administrators can log in to the same ADOM concurrently. When disabled, only a single administrator has read/write access to the ADOM, while all other administrators have read-only access.
Concurrent ADOM access can be enabled or disabled using the CLI.
|
|
Concurrent ADOM access is enabled by default. This can cause conflicts if two administrators attempt to make configuration changes to the same ADOM concurrently. |
To enable ADOM locking and disable concurrent ADOM access:
config system global
set workspace-mode normal
end
To disable ADOM locking and enable concurrent ADOM access:
config system global
set workspace-mode disable
Warning: disabling workspaces may cause some logged in users to lose their unsaved data. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
end
To enable workspace workflow mode:
config system global
set workspace-mode workflow
end
|
|
When workflow mode is enabled then the admin will have and extra option in the admin page under profile to allow the admin to approve or reject workflow requests. |
