Technical Note: GUI access on port 4433 not working in version 5.6.0

[achowdhury]

Description

This article provides a workaround to allow GUI access to port 4433 in version 5.6.0.

Solution

FortiToken Mobile Push is the new authentication feature added in the v5.6.0 which uses as default the port 4433.  This will therefore prevent GUI access on this port.

If it is required to use 4433 port for the GUI access, change the default port for FortiToken Mobile Push to for example 4432 and then test the GUI access to 4433.

This can be done in CLI.

Step 1 Change the default port for FortiToken Mobile Push.

config system ftm-push
set server-port 4432
end

Step 2  Set the port for admin GUI access.

config system global
set admin-sport 4433
end
