URL for access

The web-based manager can be accessed by URL using the network interfaces' IP addresses or, if the FortiMail unit is operating in transparent mode, the management IP address.

Accessing the FortiMail by IP address
Operation mode	Role	URL for HTTPS access	Default URL (port1)*

*Default URL is before you have configured the IP addresses of the network interfaces, which occurs during installation, before the scope of this Administration Guide. See the FortiMail Install Guide.

If these IP addresses are not public IP addresses, you may need to access the FortiMail unit through its public IP address instead. For more information on connecting to your FortiMail unit locally or through your network, see the FortiMail Install Guide.

For information on enabling remote access and configuring IP addresses using the advanced mode of the web-based manager, see Interface and Management IP. You may also need to configure from which hosts the FortiMail unit will accept login attempts for your administrator account (that is, trusted hosts). For details, see Creating an administrator account.
