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. Expand
FortiGuard Antivirus and IPS Settings;
Figure 158.
3. Select the check box beside Use Web Proxy and enter the IP address and port number of the proxy.
4. If the proxy requires authentication, enter the user name and password.
5. Select Apply.
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.
If the FDN connection status is Disconnected, the FortiManager system cannot connect through the web proxy.
