Fortinet 502 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
4. Click Test Connection to test the connection between the FortiWeb appliance and the web
server.
5. Click OK.
During the next interval, FortiWeb should connect to download its first backup. You should
notice that Total Files and Total Files will increment, and Connected should become and
remain a green check mark.
If not, first verify the login and IP address that you provided. Also, on the web server, check
the file system permissions for the account that FortiWeb is using to connect. (FortiWeb
must be able to both read and, if it will be restoring files, write to the folder and files. On
Microsoft Windows, you may need to examine your security policy configuration to make
sure that the account is authenticating as itself, and is not degrading to the guest account.)
Verify that a route exists between the FortiWeb and the web server, and that connectivity is
reliable, with no packet loss. Also verify that any routers or firewalls between them, including
Windows Firewall, are not blocking SSH, FTP, or CIFS connections. Other troubleshooting
varies by the protocol that FortiWeb is using to connect, such as checking for a compatible
protocol version and cipher suite.

Automatically
Enable to automatically restore the web site to the previous revision
number when it detects that the web site has been changed.
Disable to do nothing. In this case, you must manually restore the web
site to a previous revision when the FortiWeb appliance detects that the
web site has been changed. See “Reverting a defaced web site” on
page 503.
Note: While you are intentionally modifying the web site, you must turn
off this option and Enable Monitor. Otherwise, the FortiWeb appliance will
detect your changes as a defacement attempt, and undo them.
Note: FortiWeb does not restore your back-end database, if any. If the
web site has been defaced using SQL injection or similar attacks and its
database-driven content has been affected, even if this option is enabled,
you will need to manually restore the database.
