Notes for FortiManager Advanced:

  • Access Request supports FQDN objects which are resolved as IP addresses

  • “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.

  • Support for IPv6 objects for Access Requests in non topology mode (topology disabled).

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