Components

Components

The organization's FortiGate devices are managed by one or more FortiManagers. Optionally, logs from the FortiGate devices can be gathered by one or more FortiAnalyzers. The portal aggregates the FortiAnalyzer logs into a central database and performs security analytics on the logs.

The portal provides an administrative web interface (for the administrative staff) and an organization web interface (for the organizations).

FortiAnalyzer mode

The following figure shows the FortiPortal components in FortiAnalyzer mode and a typical organization network.

The FortiPortal solution includes the following components in FortiAnalyzer mode:

  • Portal: virtual appliance:
    • Provides the administrator web interface and the organization web interface.
    • Uses the FortiManager API to manage devices, objects, and policies
    • FortiPortal includes only one portal (however, the portal can consist of multiple VM instances for redundancy and/or scalability)

The organization web interface enables each organization to access/analyze their data and administer their service. For additional information about the organization web interface, see the FortiPortal User Guide (which is also available by selecting the help button in the organization web interface).

The administrative web service allows the administrator to configure the services for each organization, and to manage the overall cloud service.
