- Open an HTTPS session using the public DNS address or the IP address of the FortiWeb-VM in your browser (https://<public DNS>: 8443).
You will see a certificate error message from your browser, which is normal because the default FortiWeb certificate is self-signed and not recognized by browsers. Proceed past this error. At a later time, you can upload a publicly signed certificate to avoid this error.
