Fortinet 46 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
For first-time connection, see “Connecting to the web UI” on page 72.
The default URL to access the web UI through the network interface on port1 is:
https://192.168.1.99/
If the network interfaces were configured during installation of the FortiWeb appliance (see
“Configuring the network settings” on page 111), the URL and/or permitted administrative
access protocols may no longer be in their default state. In that case, use either a
DNS-resol
vable domain name for the FortiWeb appliance as the URL, or the IP address that
was assigned to the network interface during the installation process.
For example, you might have configured port2 with the IP address 10.0.0.1 and enabled
HTTPS. Y
ou might have also configured a private DNS server on your network to resolve
fortiweb.example.com to 10.0.0.1. In this case, to access the web UI through port2, you could
enter either https://fortiweb.example.com/ or https://10.0.0.1/.
For information on enabling administrative access protocols and configuring IP addresses for
the Fort
iWeb appliance, see “Configuring the network settings” on page 111.
Workflow
While the “heart” of your security enforcement on FortiWeb is server policies, its individual
settings are specified in rules and exceptions, that are grouped into sets and selected in a
profile before being applied to the server policy. Often you will not be able to complete
configuration of an item unless you have configured its chain of prerequisites. For that reason,
you may want to start with the most granular settings first.
If the URL is correct and you still cannot access the web UI, you may also need to configure
FortiWeb to accept login attempts for your administrator account from that computer (that is,
trusted hosts), and/or static routes. For details, see
“Administrators” on page 212 and “Adding
a gateway” on page 125.
