Enabling updates through a web proxy
If the FortiManager system’s built-in FDS must connect to the FDN through a web (HTTP or HTTPS) proxy, you can specify the IP address and port of the proxy server.
If the proxy requires authentication, you can also specify a user name and password.
To enable updates to the FortiManager system through a proxy:
1. Go to System Settings > FortiGuard Center > Configuration.
2. If configuring a web proxy server to enable web filtering and antispam updates, expand FortiGuard Web Filter and AntiSpam Settings.
3. If configuring a web proxy to enable antivirus and IPS updates, eExpand
FortiGuard Antivirus and IPS Settings;
Figure 234.
4. Select the check box beside Use Web Proxy and enter the IP address and port number of the proxy.
5. If the proxy requires authentication, enter the user name and password.
6. Select Update to immediately connect and receive updates from the FDN.
The FortiManager system connects to the override server and receives updates from the FDN.
7. Select Apply.
If the FDN connection status is Disconnected, the FortiManager system is unable to connect through the web proxy.
