Using trusted hosts

Setting trusted hosts for all of your administrators increases the security of your network by further restricting administrative access. In addition to knowing the password, an administrator must connect only through the subnet or subnets you specify. You can even restrict an administrator to a single IPv4 address if you define only one trusted host IPv4 address with a netmask of 255.255.255.255.

When you set trusted hosts for all administrators, the FortiManager system does not respond to administrative access attempts from any other hosts. This provides the highest security. If you leave even one administrator unrestricted, the unit accepts administrative access attempts on any interface that has administrative access enabled, potentially exposing the unit to attempts to gain unauthorized access.

The trusted hosts you define apply both to the GUI and to the CLI when accessed through SSH. CLI access through the console connector is not affected.

Example

Use the following commands to add a new administrator account named admin_2 with the password set to p8ssw0rd and the Super_User access profile. Administrators that log in to this account will have administrator access to the FortiManager system from any IPv4 address.

config system admin user

edit admin_2

set description "Backup administrator"

set password p8ssw0rd

set profileid Super_User

admin user

Use this command to add, edit, and delete administrator accounts.

Use the admin account or an account with System Settings read and write privileges to add new administrator accounts and control their permission levels. Each administrator account must include a minimum of an access profile. The access profile list is ordered alphabetically, capitals first. If custom profiles are defined, it may change the default profile from Restricted_User. You cannot delete the admin administrator account. You cannot delete an administrator account if that user is logged on.

You can create meta-data fields for administrator accounts. These objects must be created using the FortiManager GUI. The only information you can add to the object is the value of the field (pre-determined text/numbers). For more information, see System Settings in the FortiManager Administration Guide.

Using trusted hosts

Setting trusted hosts for all of your administrators increases the security of your network by further restricting administrative access. In addition to knowing the password, an administrator must connect only through the subnet or subnets you specify. You can even restrict an administrator to a single IPv4 address if you define only one trusted host IPv4 address with a netmask of 255.255.255.255.

When you set trusted hosts for all administrators, the FortiManager system does not respond to administrative access attempts from any other hosts. This provides the highest security. If you leave even one administrator unrestricted, the unit accepts administrative access attempts on any interface that has administrative access enabled, potentially exposing the unit to attempts to gain unauthorized access.

The trusted hosts you define apply both to the GUI and to the CLI when accessed through SSH. CLI access through the console connector is not affected.

Example

Use the following commands to add a new administrator account named admin_2 with the password set to p8ssw0rd and the Super_User access profile. Administrators that log in to this account will have administrator access to the FortiManager system from any IPv4 address.

config system admin user

edit admin_2

set description "Backup administrator"

set password p8ssw0rd

set profileid Super_User

end
