4. Configure these settings:

Setting name Description

Name Type a unique name that can be referenced in other parts of the

configuration. Do not use spaces or special characters. The

maximum length is 35 characters.

Hostname/IP

or URL

Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), IP address, or full

URL to indicate which directory of the web site you want to scan.

Behavior of the scan varies by the type of the entry:

• A FQDN/IP such as www.example.com. Assume HTTP and

scan the entire web site located on this host.

• A partial URL such as https://webmail.example.com/dir1/. Use

the protocol specified in the URL, and scan the web pages

located in this directory of the web site. Other directories will be

ignored.

• A full URL such as http://example.com/dir1/start.jsp. Use the

protocol specified in the URL, starting from the web page in the

URL, and scan all local URLs reachable via links from this web

page that are located within the same subdirectory.

Links to external web sites and redirects using HTTP 301 Moved

Permanently or 302 Moved Temporarily or Found will not be

followed.

Unless you will enter an IP address for the host, you must have

configured a DNS server that the FortiWeb appliance can use to

query for the FQDN. For details, see “Configuring DNS settings”

on page 130.

Note: This starting point for the scan can be overridden if the web

server automatically redirects the request after authentication. See

URL/data.
