Administrator settings
The System Settings > Admin > Admin Settings page allows you to configure global settings for administrator access to the FortiManager unit, including:
• Ports for HTTPS and HTTP administrative access
• Idle Timeout settings
• Language of the web‑based manager
• Password Policy
• Display options for the Web-based Manager
Only the admin administrator can configure these system options, which apply to all administrators logging onto the FortiManager unit.
To configure the administrative settings:
1. Go to System Settings > Admin > Admin Settings.
The Settings window opens.
Figure 46: Administrative settings dialog box
2. Configure the following information:
Administration Settings
 
HTTP Port
Enter the TCP port to be used for administrative HTTP access.
 
HTTPS Port
Enter the TCP port to be used for administrative HTTPS access.
 
HTTPS & Web Service Server Certificate
Select a certificate from the drop-down list.
 
Idle Timeout
Enter the number of minutes that an administrative connection can be idle before the administrator must log in again. The maximum is 480 minutes (8 hours). To ensure security, the idle timeout should be a short period of time to avoid the administrator inadvertently leaving the management computer logged in to the FortiManager unit and opening the possibility of someone walking up and modifying the network options.
 
Language
Select a language from the drop-down list.
Password Policy
Select to enable administrator passwords.
 
Minimum Length
Select the minimum length for a password. The default is eight characters.
