FortiManager 6.0 ADOMs contain firewall addresses of type Wildcard FQDN. In FortiManager 6.2 ADOMs, the firewall address type changed from Wildcard FQDN to FQDN. However ADOM upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2 continues to support firewall address objects of type Wildcard FQDN.

After upgrading a 6.0 ADOM to a 6.2 ADOM, firewall addresses with type Wildcard FQDN change to type FQDN, for example:
