Configure Administrator access
Configure administrative access to allow remote administration of the FortiLog unit. However, allowing remote administration could compromise the security of your FortiLog unit. To improve the security of a FortiLog unit use the following principles when configuring administrative access:
•Use secure administrator passwords,
•Change these passwords regularly,
•Enable secure administrative access to this interface using only HTTPS or SSH,
•Do not change the system idle timeout from the default value of 5 minutes.
