FortiManager connector relay to AWS will proxy all individual FortiGate requests

This information is also available in the FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide: Using FortiManager as an SDN proxy for AWS connectors

FortiManager connector relay to AWS will proxy all individual FortiGate requests.

This feature can only be configured using the CLI.

To configure the FortiManager connector relay to AWS:

1. In the FortiGate CLI, create the proxy object:

   config system sdn-proxy<---- new object

   edit <sdn-proxy name>

   set type fortimanager

   set server <server address>

   set username <username">

   set password <password>

   next

   end

2. In the FortiGate CLI, configure the SDN connector to use the proxy.

   config system sdn-connector

   edit "aws1"

   set proxy <sdn-proxy name><---- new property

   set use-metadata-iam disable

   set access-key <access>

   set secret-key <secret>

   set region "us-west-2"

   next

   end

3. On the FortiManager, you can manage the SDN proxy daemon with the following commands in the CLI:
   • The sdnproxy daemon is able to restart by using the diagnose test application sdnproxyd <xx> command where xx is the level of debug.
   • The sdnproxy daemon shows debug logs using the diagose debug application sdnproxy <xx> command where xx is the level of debug.
