Enabling updates through a web proxy
If the FortiManager system’s built-in FDS must connect to the FDN through a web (HTTP or HTTPS) proxy, you can specify the IP address and port of the proxy server.
If the proxy requires authentication, you can also specify a user name and password.
To enable updates to the FortiManager system through a proxy:
- Go to FortiGuard > Settings.
- If configuring a web proxy server to enable web and email filtering updates, expand FortiGuard Web Filter and Email Filter Settings.
- If configuring a web proxy to enable antivirus and IPS updates, expand FortiGuard Antivirus and IPS Settings.
- Toggle ON beside Use Web Proxy and enter the IP address and port number of the proxy.
- If the proxy requires authentication, enter the user name and password.
- Click Apply.
If the FDN connection status is Disconnected, the FortiManager system is unable to connect through the web proxy.
