Upgrading to FortiPortal 6.0.6

When upgrading to FortiPortal 6.0.6, the following helps you avoid encryption key issues:

  1. Using the CLI, add the database encryption key:

    config system sql

    set db-encrypt-key <key> # a default key is added if you do not add one.

    end

    Customer and customer users should change their FortiPortal passwords after successful login.

  2. Go to Devices > FortiManager, and change the password for FortiManager devices.
  3. Go to Devices > FortiAnalyzer, and change the password for FortiAnalyzer devices.
  4. If using email authentication, go to Admin > Settings and in the Email Settings pane, change the password. Click Submit.
  5. In Admin > Settings, under the User Authentication pane, enter a new Remote Server Key. Click Submit.
  6. This saves passwords with a user-added database encryption key and Java-based two-way encryption.

    For older versions of FortiPortal (5.3.x, 5.2.x) or a FortiPortal with multiple instances deployed, you must add a database encryption key from CLI.

    Use the same key across VMs.
