system autoupdate tunneling

Use this command to configure the FortiWeb appliance to use a proxy server to connect to the Fortinet Distribution Network (FDN).

The FortiWeb appliance will connect to the proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method, as described in RFC 2616 (http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt).

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the sysgrp area. For details, see Permissions.
