Configuring certificate using the ACME protocol to access a FortiPAM instance

Configuring certificate using the ACME protocol to access a FortiPAM instance

FortiPAM implements the ACME protocol to help you apply and generate a certificate issued by Let's Encrypt automatically.

The default certificate validity is three months and it is automatically renewed within one month before the expiry.

Requirements

  • FortiPAM 1.8 or above with a public IP address. Usually, an AWS or Azure FortiPAM instance.

  • Enable Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service or purchase a domain for the FortiPAM public IP address.

    Bind the FortiPAM instance to the domain.

    Before using ACME to create a certificate, you should be able to reach the FortiPAM through the domain without any issue.

To configure certificate using the ACME protocol:
  1. Creating a certificate
  2. Configuring the FortiPAM SSL certificate
