Fortinet 287 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
Subject Information Includes information that the certificate is required to
contain in order to uniquely identify the FortiWeb
appliance. This area varies depending on the ID Type
selection.
ID Type Select the type of identifier to use in the certificate to
identify the FortiWeb appliance:
•Host IP — Select if the FortiWeb appliance has a
static IP address and enter the public IP address of
the FortiWeb appliance in the IP field. If the FortiWeb
appliance does not have a public IP address, use
E-Mail or Domain Name instead.
•Domain Name — Select if the FortiWeb appliance has
a static IP address and subscribes to a dynamic DNS
service. Enter the FQDN of the FortiWeb appliance,
such as www.example.com, in the Domain Name
field. Do not include the protocol specification (http://)
or any port number or path names.
•E-Mail — Select and enter the email address of the
owner of the FortiWeb appliance in the e-mail field.
Use this if the appliance does not require either a
static IP address or a domain name.
The type you should select varies by whether or not your
FortiWeb appliance has a static IP address, a
fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), and by the primary
intended use of the certificate.
For example, if your FortiWeb appliance has both a static
IP address and a domain name, but you will primarily use
the local certificate for HTTPS connections to the web UI
by the domain name of the FortiWeb appliance, you
might prefer to generate a certificate based upon the
domain name of the FortiWeb appliance, rather than its IP
address.
Depending on your choice for ID Type, related options
appear.
IP Type the static IP address of the FortiWeb appliance,
such as 10.0.0.1.
The IP address should be the one that is visible to clients.
Usually, this should be its public IP address on the
Internet, or a virtual IP that you use NAT to map to the
appliance’s IP address on your private network.
This option appears only if ID Type is Host IP.
Domain Name Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the
FortiWeb appliance, such as www.example.com.
The domain name must resolve to the static IP address of
the FortiWeb appliance or protected server. For more
information, see “Configuring the network interfaces” on
page 113.
This option appears only if ID Type is Domain Name.
