Fortigate und Swisscom TV – zum dritten

Unser letzter Beitrag zur Konfiguration einer Fortigate, um zuhause auch Swisscom TV durch die Fortigate zu bekommen, ist schon eine zeitlang her. Deswegen hier mal wieder ein aktueller Beitrag mit einer Fortigate auf FOS 7.0.0 (der auch mit 6.4.5 getestet wurde).

In diesem Beispiel hängt die Swisscom TV Box am DMZ Port der Fortigate und bezieht von dort eine DHCP Adresse, welche per DHCP Reservation fixiert wird:

CheatSheet – FortiOS v6.4

The System Engineers of BOLL Engineering have been supporting Fortigate devices for 18 years. This year, FortiOS v6.4 was released and we have again gathered all the troubleshooting commands that we use regularly in our new CheatSheet.

Hopefully this CheatSheet will help you as well.

You will find the most important commands on the first page. The second page contains troubleshooting commands for problems with firewall policies and security profiles, followed by the third page with commands for network problems. The last page covers system and hardware commands and general information.

Upgrade your FortiMail now!

There seems to be a vulnerarbility in some FortiMail versions, that allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to access the system by requesting a password change. Please refer to the FortiGuard PSIRT article.

The problem here is not only the unauthorized access to the system, but also the change of the password of all configured administrative accounts. Also, the maintainer functionality to reset the administrator password over a serial console of the FortiMail is being disabled from the attacker.

Re-Certification Policies during COVID19

Because it’s very difficult to take exams at PearsonVUE right now, you may get in trouble regarding the timely recertification of existing certifications. Therefore some vendors have announced an extension for their recertification expiration:

PaloAltoNetworks is extending the certification expiration date by six month for Credential holders with expiration date between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020.

Fortinet is extending the certification expiration by one month so far. We assume that this extension will be extended again :-).
Update March 27th: Fortinet will extend the expiry dates of all existing NSE certifications by 6 months as of March 16th 2020 (the date of PV’s test center closures).

What’s new with FortiOS 6.2/6.0.8: Update issue with certificate for WebUI

Recently we have had a few support cases where a customer was unable to log in to the firewall via WebUI after the firmware update. But SSH access worked fine.

It turned out that during the update process the server certificate used for the WebUI is lost.

Config with v6.0.4 (it does not happen with «self-signed» only):

config system global
  set admin-server-cert "self-signed"
end
