Create FortiManager Record

We will begin configuring FortiSOAR to connect to FortiManager, which allows us to manage FortiManager.

  1. Navigate to FortiManager > Managers and click the Add button Add button button to add a new record. Add FortiManager Record Add FortiManager Record

  2. Enter the following information:

    • Manager Name: FortiManager
    • Manager IP: 10.100.88.10
    • Admin RPC Username: fortisoar
    • Admin RPC Password: fortinet

    Create FortiManager Record Create FortiManager Record

  3. Click Save.

You will now see the FortiManager record populated with information from the FortiManager API. FortiSOAR automatically created the connector configuration for us and retrieved details about the device

Note

The connector could automatically be configured because the fortisoar user was already present on FortiManager. Normally you would need to create an api user with rest api permissions
