Administrator settings
The System Settings > Admin > Admin Settings page allows you to configure global settings for administrator access to the FortiManager unit, including:
l Ports for HTTPS and HTTP administrative access
In order to improve security, you can change the default port configurations for administrative connections to the FortiManager. When connecting to the FortiManager unit when the port has changed, the port must be included, such as https://<ip_address>:<port>. For example, if you are connecting to the FortiManager unit using port 8080, the URL would be https://192.168.1.99:8080. When you change to the default port number for HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or SSH, ensure that the port number is unique.
l Idle Timeout settings
By default, the Web-based Manager disconnects administrative sessions if no activity occurs for five minutes. This prevents someone from using the Web-based Manager if the management computer is left unattended.
l Language of the web-based manager
The default language of the Web-based Manager is English. For best results, you should select the language that is used by the management computer.
l Password Policy
The FortiManager unit includes the ability to enforce a password policy for administrator login. With this policy, you can enforce regular changes and specific criteria for a password.
l Display options for the Web-based Manager
You can select to display or hide various advanced configuration options in the Web-based Manager. Only the admin administrator can configure these system options, which apply to all administrators logging onto the FortiManager unit.
