Gateway

Introduction

FortiPAM supports network gateway for distributed target deployment.

Gateway in Secrets displays a list of configured gateways.

You can configure a gateway, e.g., a FortiPAM, a FortiGate, or a FortiProxy device, when a target is not reachable directly from FortiPAM to proxy the connection to the target.

In the above scenario, the FortiPAM deployed on a public site cannot reach the target server directly. The target server is in the private enterprise network and deployable at multiple locations. A FortiGate or a FortiProxy device acts as a network gateway. The network gateway can be applied to the target. All connections to the target are now proxied by FortiPAM and the network gateway.

For each gateway, the following are displayed by default:

  • Name

  • Status

  • Address

  • Port

  • SSL Max Version

  • Client Certificate

  • Remote CA

  • Reference

The Gateway tab contains the following options:

Create

Select to create a new gateway. See Creating a gateway on the FortiPAM GUI.

Search

Enter a search term in the search field, then hit Enter to search the gateway list. To narrow down your search, see Column filter.

The following column filters are available:

  • Name

  • Status

  • Address

  • Port

  • SSL Max Version

  • Client Certificate

  • Remote CA

  • Reference

Edit

Select to edit the selected gateway.

Delete

Select to delete the selected gateway.

For gateway related CLI configurations, see Creating a gateway on the FortiPAM CLI and FortiPAM connects to a target through a FortiProxy acting as the gateway Example.
