To configure proxy as a system-wide setting:
  1. Open the Launcher, and search for Settings.
  2. Click Network on the left menu. Then select your Wireless Network SSID and click the right arrow to expand.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and expand the proxy settings.
  4. For Connection type, select one of the following:
    1. Select Automatic proxy configuration. This is the recommended method. Point the Autoconfiguration URL to the FortiSASE-hosted PAC file.
    2. To configure manual proxy configuration, do the following:
      1. Select Manual proxy configuration.
      2. Enable Use the same proxy for all protocols.
      3. Enter the proxy server address, and the Secure Web Gateway port that your administrator provided. You can select the global proxy or the server closest to you.
      4. Click Save.

    Note

    If issues arise with some websites using SOCKS, you can work around this by disabling Use the same proxy for all protocols. Then only define the proxy server address for HTTP proxy and secure HTTP proxy.

  5. On a successful connection, your browser prompts you to authenticate. Enter your user credentials to authenticate to FortiSASFortiSASE and continue browsing the web.

If you receive a warning message from Chrome preventing you to go further, you must disable your proxy settings, and install the FortiSASE certificate authority certificate before reenabling proxy.
