This section describes the features of the user-friendly web-based manager administrative
interface (sometimes referred to as a graphical user interface, or GUI) of your FortiGate
unit.
Using HTTP or a secure HTTPS connection from any management computer running a
web browser, you can connect to the FortiGate web-based manager to configure and
manage the FortiGate unit. The recommended minimum screen resolution for the
management computer is 1280 by 1024.
You can configure the FortiGate unit for HTTP and HTTPS web-based administration from
any FortiGate interface. To connect to the web-based manager you require a FortiGate
administrator account and password. The web-based manager supports multiple
languages, but by default appears in English on first use.
