Safelisting in Fortinet FortiGate

Fortinet's FortiGate web filter is configurable in order to allow access to Portal services. We recommend safelisting (whitelisting) the Portal in Fortigate's web filter if users experience issues accessing landing pages (given a failing phishing test).

The following instructions include information from Foritgate's Static URL Filter article. If you are having problem safelisting Portal in FortiGate, we suggest contacting FortiGate for specific instructions.
