Configuring DNS and FortiAuthenticator's FQDN
- On the FortiAuthenticator, go to System > Dashboard > Status. In the System Information widget, select Change next to Device FQDN.
- Enter the same name for the Host Name. This is so you can add the unit to the FortiGate’s DNS list, so that the local DNS lookup of this FQDN can be resolved.
- On the FortiGate, open the CLI Console and enter the following command, entering the FortiAuthenticator’s host name and Internet-facing IP address:
Enter a domain name (in this example, fac.school.net). This will help identify where the FortiAuthenticator is located in the DNS hierarchy.
config system dns-database
edit school.net
config dns-entry
edit 1
set hostname fac.school.net
set ip 172.25.176.141
next
end
set domain school.net
next
end
