Appendix I: How to input the authentication path Example

A login URL can be long. Usually, the URL is composed of:

  • Scheme: The protocol used to access the resource, e.g., https:// or http://.

  • Host: The IP address or the domain name of the server.

  • Path: The location of the resource on the server.

  • Other parameters: Additional information such as query parameters to the server about the request.

    They are separated from the path by ?.

Example 1

When accessing the FortiSRA GUI by entering the login IP address, e.g., https://192.168.1.99 in the web browser address bar and hitting enter, the full URL shown in the browser is https://192.168.1.99/remote/login?lang=en.

You can specify /remote/login as the auth-path.

Example 2

For the Microsoft Azure portal, you can configure the auth-path as /organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize while the full authentication URL is https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fportal.azure.com%2Fsignin%2Findex%2F&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmanagement.core.windows.net%2F%2Fuser_impersonation%20openid%20email%20profile&state=OpenIdConnect....
