Notes for FortiManager Advanced:

  • In SecureChange, you can leverage automation tools, such as target selection, Verifier, and Designer to automate access requests that contain FQDNs.

  • In SecureTrack, there is visibility for FQDNs in security rules and change tracking, assessment, path analysis, and matching rules.

  • You can define the default for Security Profile Group (ContentID) in stconf. Once these profiles are set, Designer for Access Request will create new rules accordingly. For details, see Configuring Log Forwarding and Security Profile Groups.

  • “Dynamic assignment” and “Skip this step if” options do not list targets when topology is disabled.

    Workaround: Enter these targets manually, using free text.

  • Support for Fortinet FortiManager Web Filters.

  • New objects in a Rule Modification workflow can only be created on the policy where the rule is located. It is not possible to create a global object in a hierarchical environment and add the object to a rule on a sibling policy.

  • In a Rule Modification workflow there is no zone validation for Fortinet FortiManager devices. While it is possible for a request to include adding objects from address books or adding zones to rules on other zones, validation will fail on provisioning.

  • Access Requests support IPv6 objects, including Designer recommendations and Provisioning.

  • Designer gives priority to service objects that have a default timeout set in the firewall.
