Fortimanager is software that allows for easier management of our Fortinet Firewalls from a single location. This article is meant for staff who manage Fortinet firewalls, in order to assist in the transition of implementing policies via the Fortimanager.
Logging In
Upon logging in to the Fortimanager with your NetIDAdmin/Password, you'll be greeted with the 'Select an ADOM' screen. Here you will see each ADOM that you have access to manage - click the ADOM you'd like to manage to enter it.
The Fortimanager is divided into individual ADOMs (Administrative Domains) for each VDOM (Virtual Domain) on each firewall. For example, the Waterbury firewall has 3 VDOMs: PDFD, Server, and Root. Each of these VDOMs belongs to its own ADOM, as shown below.
After selecting the ADOM, you'll be brought to the following screen. From here you can choose to enter the Device Manager, or what will more commonly be used, Policy & Objects. Fabric View is not used, and can be ignored.
In the top right corner, you'll see ADOM: FW-Waterbury-PDFD. This is the current ADOM you're in; clicking this will bring up the selection box, allowing you jump to another ADOM.
