Auto-create application

Note

This feature applies to FortiGate/FortiOS VDOMs only.

Normally, the FortiGate administrator can add a VDOM to FTC as an application by enabling the first user on the VDOM for FTC (if the VDOM has not already been assigned to a realm). So when FTC receives a VDOM list from FortiOS with a new VDOM with a user enabled for FTC service, it automatically adds that VDOM as an application. This may inadvertently allow unintended applications to consume your FTC quotas or credits. To prevent this from happening, FTC has introduced the Auto-create application option to make the "add-auth-client-on-creation-of-first-user" feature optional in its global settings.

Disable Auto-create application

By default, Auto-create application is enabled, but you can disable it using the following procedures:

  1. On the main menu, click Settings>Global to open the Global page.
  2. On the Global page, click the Auto-create application button to turn it off.
  3. In the Auto-create application dialog, read the messages and click OK to proceed.
  4. Click Apply Changes.
  5. Click Confirm.

Enable Auto-create application

If Auto-create application is disabled, you can enable it by clicking the Auto-create application button.
