Replacement message enhancements

Replacement message enhancements

The replacement messages are a set of pages displayed to your users in various situations, such as during the user authentication process, when their requests are denied, or when a "Server Unavailable!" message is required. For more information about replacement messages, see Customizing error and authentication pages (replacement messages).

Prior to version 7.6.0, only HTML format was supported for these pages. Now, additional formats are available, ensuring that the page displayed to your customers is consistent with the content type of their requests. The new formats include:

  • XML: "application/xml" or "text/xml"

  • JSON: "application/json"

  • GraphQL: "application/graphql"

  • SOAP: "application/soap+xml"

Configurations on FortiWeb

In System > Config > Replacement Message, click into a message, then select the type of response message. Please note that this option is currently available only for the Attack Block Page. We plan to expand this option to more pages in future releases.
