Fortinet 5.0 Patch 6 Shutdown

Fortinet 58 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide

In the web UI, each entry’s name is not editable after you create and save it.

For example, let’s say you create a policy whose Name is “PolicyA”. While configuring the

policy, you change your mind about the policy’s name a few times, and ultimately you change

the Name to “Blog-Policy”. Finally, you click OK to save the policy. Afterwards, if you edit the

policy, most settings can be changed. However, Name is greyed-out, and cannot any longer be

changed.

While you cannot edit Name, you can achieve the same effect by other means.

To rename an entry

1. Clone the entry, supplying the new name.

2. In all areas of the configuration that refer to the old name, replace the old entry name by

selecting the new name.

3. Delete the item with the old name.

Shutdown

Always properly shut down the FortiWeb appliance’s operating system before turning off the

power switch or unplugging it. This causes it to finish writing any buffered data, and to correctly

spin down and park the hard disks.

Alternatively, if you need to rename an item that is only referenced in the core configuration file,

you can download a backup copy, use a plain text editor to find and replace the entry’s old

name, then restore the modified configuration backup file to the appliance. Where there are

many references, this may save time.

If you do not know where your configuration refers to the entry that you want to delete, to find

the references, you can download a backup of the configuration and use a plain text editor to

search for the entry’s name.

Do not unplug or switch off the FortiWeb appliance without first halting the operating system.

Failure to do so could cause data loss and hardware damage.
