Using trusted hosts
Setting trusted hosts for all of your administrators increases the security of your
network by further restricting administrative access. In addition to knowing the
password, an administrator must connect only through the subnet or subnets you
specify. You can even restrict an administrator to a single IP address if you define only
one trusted host IP address with a netmask of 255.255.255.255.
When you set trusted hosts for all administrators, the FortiGate unit does not respond
to administrative access attempts from any other hosts. This provides the highest
security. If you leave even one administrator unrestricted, the unit accepts
administrative access attempts on any interface that has administrative access
enabled, potentially exposing the unit to attempts to gain unauthorized access.
The trusted hosts you define apply both to the web-based manager and to the CLI
when accessed through telnet or SSH. CLI access through the console connector is
not affected.
Access profiles
Go to System > Admin > Access Profile to add access profiles for FortiGate
administrators. Each administrator account belongs to an access profile. You can
create access profiles that deny access to or allow read only, write only, or both read
and write access to FortiGate features.
