Editing a proxy rule

Editing a proxy rule

A proxy rule is used to enforce access control. ZTNA tags or tag groups can be added into a rule to enforce zero trust role based access.

On the FortiPAM GUI, you can only edit an existing proxy rule. Use the CLI to create new proxy rules (config firewall policy).

A default FortiPAM_Default proxy rule is available in the proxy rules list.

To configure a proxy rule:
  1. Go to System > ZTNA.
  2. In the proxy rules list, select a proxy rule and then select Edit.

    Alternatively, in the proxy rules list, double-click a proxy rule to edit it.

    The Edit Proxy Rule window opens.

  3. Enter the following information:

    Enable this rule

    Toggle on to enable the proxy rule.

    Name

    The name of the proxy rule.

    Names are not fixed and can be changed later.

    Incoming Interface

    Select incoming interfaces or create new interfaces.

    Use the search bar to look for an interface.

    Use the pen icon next to the interface to edit it.

    Access Proxy

    The corresponding access proxy and VIP.

    The Access Proxy pane is read-only.

    ZTNA Control

    Enable/disable ZTNA control for the proxy rule.

    ZTNA control is equivalent to client-cert in the access proxy.

    ZTNA Tag

    Add the ZTNA tags or tag groups that are allowed access.

    ZTNA tags are synchronized from the EMS side.

    Use the search bar to look for a ZTNA tag.

    Creating a ZTNA tag group

    Match ZTNA tags

    If multiple tags are included, select Any or All (default = Any).

    Under Connected EMS on the right, you can see connected EMS(s).

    Hovering over one of the EMS displays a tooltip with additional details about that EMS.

  4. Click OK.
