Management GUI SSL
Configure Management GUI SSL to receive renewed certificates automatically.
1. Overview
A FortiGate - Management GUI SSL node deploys certificates to this configured target.
2. Configuration
Select this platform and deployment position, then supply the following parameters.
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| API URL | Yes | https://fortigate.example.com |
| API Token | Yes | |
| Verify TLS Certificate | Yes | Yes (recommended) / No (self-signed server certificate); default: true |
3. Deployment and renewal
- Use a FortiOS REST API administrator token with global certificate import and system configuration permissions. Installs and activates the management GUI certificate. Old certificate objects are retained.
Associate the certificate with the node and enable automatic deployment on renewal. Certificate replacement uses the same configured target on every run.
The endpoint must use HTTPS and be reachable from the CertOne deployment service. TLS certificate verification is enabled by default. Disable verification only when the target has a self-signed certificate and its address is trusted.
Old certificate objects are retained to avoid deleting certificates referenced elsewhere. Monitor the platform certificate quota and remove unused objects separately. Repeating a successful deployment of the same PEM certificate reuses its generated certificate name.
4. Verification
Automated protocol tests cover request construction, failure handling and credential redaction. This integration has not been tested against a live account or device in this change. A successful configuration check verifies connectivity and read access; the first deployment also verifies write permissions.
