Management proxy

If you use a proxy server to control access to the Internet, the proxy server is used by the FortiPolicy management plane. Currently, proxy server integration supports FortiPolicy license imports, log uploads, Elasticsearch data uploads, and software upgrades.

When there is no proxy server configuration, traffic is routed directly from the FortiPolicy management platform to the Internet.

Enable and configure proxy settings from the Management Proxy section of the Configuration > Setup > Servers page.

To configure a new proxy server:

1. Enter the name of the proxy server.

2. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the proxy server.

3. Enter the port number that the proxy server will use.

4. If you want to use authentication, select Basic Auth or NTLM.

5. If you selected Basic Auth, enter the user name and password to access the proxy server.

6. If you selected NTLM, enter the user name and password to access the proxy server, the name of the NTLM domain, and the name of the proxy workstation.

7. Enter a URL to test the connection to the proxy server with.

8. Click IMPORT CERTIFICATE and select the certificate to use.

9. Click TEST CONNECTION to use the proxy server with the test URL.

10. Click SAVE to save the configuration.
