FortiManager added support for FortiGate shared global objects 7.2.2

FortiManager 7.2.2 supports the following FortiGate shared objects:

• system replacemsg-group
• system external-resource
• webfilter profile
• firewall wildcard-fqdn custom
• ips sensor
• sctp-filter profile
• application list
• dlp data-type
• dlp dictionary
• dlp sensor
• dlp profile
• webfilter search-engine
• antivirus profile
• file-filter profile
• wireless-controller utm-profile

When global objects (starting with prefix g-) are referenced in a policy package, they are installed to the FortiGate Global VDOM and are usable in other VDOMs.

Example of using shared objects

Following is an example of global objects (g-) being referenced in a policy package, and installed to a FortiGate:

• Shared objects are referenced in a policy package.

  

• The policy package is installed to FortiGate.

  

  

• Installation results in the creation of FortiGate global objects:

  

• Shared objects can be used by other VDOMs in the FortiGate.
