After download, simply extract the file and open the fortigate.vmx file in VMware. Immediately after, it will be reflected on VMware window. Do not forget to change some initial setting before you fire up the Fortigate.

Validate the FortiGate VM license with FortiManager

You can validate your FortiGate VM license with some models of FortiManager. To determine whether your FortiManager unit has the VM Activation feature, see Features section of the FortiManager Product Data sheet.

To validate your FortiGate VM with your FortiManager:

To configure your FortiManager as a closed network, enter the following CLI command on your FortiManager:

config fmupdate publicnetwork

set status disable

end

To configure FortiGate VM to use FortiManager as its override server, enter the following CLI commands on your FortiGate VM:

config system central-management

set mode normal

set type fortimanager

set include-default-servers disable

set vdom <Enter the name of the VDOM to use when communicating with the FortiManager device>

config server-list

edit 1

set server-type update rating

set server-address <your FMG IP>

end

Load the FortiGate VM license file in the Web-based Manager.

Go to System > Dashboard > Status.
In the License Information widget, in the Registration Status field, select Update. Browse for the .lic license file and select OK.

To activate the FortiGate VM license, enter the following CLI command on your FortiGate VM:

execute update-now

To check the FortiGate VM license status, enter the following CLI commands on your FortiGate VM:

get system status

The following output is displayed:

Licensing timeout

In closed environments without Internet access, it is mandatory to perform offline licensing of the virtual FortiGate using a FortiManager as a license server. If the FortiGate-VM cannot perform license validation within the license timeout period, which is 30 days, the FortiGate will discard all packets and effectively ceasing operation as a firewall.

The status of the licence will go through some status changes before it times out.

Status	Description
Valid	The FortiGate can connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS
Warning	The FortiGate cannot connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS. A check is made against how many days the Warning status has been continuous. If the number is less the 30 days the status does not change.
Invalid	The FortiGate cannot connect and validate against a FortiManager or FDS. A check is made against how many days the Warning status has been continuous. If the number is 30 days or more, the status changes to Invalid.The firewall ceases to function properly.

There is only a single log entry after the virtual FortiGate cannot access the license server for the license expiration period. This means that when you go searching the logs for a reason for the FortiGate being offline there will not be a long list of error logs that draw attention to the issue. There will only be the one entry.

Are millions of enterprise users, who rely on the next-generation firewalls for protection, actually protected from hackers?

Probably Not.

Just less than a month after an unauthorized backdoor found in Juniper Networks firewalls, an anonymous security researcher has discovered highly suspicious code in FortiOS firewalls from enterprise security vendor Fortinet.

According to the leaked information, FortiOS operating system, deployed on Fortinet's FortiGate firewall networking equipment, includes an SSH backdoor that can be used to access its firewall equipment.

Anyone can Access FortiOS SSH Backdoor

Anyone with 'Fortimanager_Access' username and a hashed version of the 'FGTAbc11*xy+Qqz27' password string, which is hard coded into the firewall, can login into Fortinet's FortiGate firewall networking equipment.

However, according to the company's product details, this SSH user is created for challenge-and-response authentication routine for logging into Fortinet's servers with the secure shell (SSH) protocol.

This issue affected all FortiOS versions from 4.3.0 to 4.3.16 and 5.0.0 to 5.0.7, which cover FortiOS builds from between November 2012 and July 2014.

Proof-of-Concept Exploit Code is Available Online

The issue was recently reported by an anonymous user (operator8203@runbox.com), who posted the exploit code on the Full Disclosure mailing list this week, helping wannabe hackers generate the backdoor's dynamic password.

System administrators can also make use of this exploit code to automate their testing process in an effort to find out whether they have any vulnerable FortiGuard network equipment laying around.

A Twitter user also shared a screenshot purporting to show someone gained remote access to a server running FortiOS using the exploit code.

The most important fact to be noted here is anyone using this backdoor account doesn't appear in the device's access logs, as the backdoor might be tied to its FortiManager maintenance platform.

Also, there is less chance with professional sysadmins to expose their SSH port online, but this backdoor account can still be exploited by attackers with access to the local network or a virtual LAN, by infecting an organization's computer.

Fortinet Response on the Issue

Fortinet, on its part, attempted to explain why its products were shipped with hard coded SSH logins. According to the company, its internal team fixed this critical security bug (CVE-2014-2216) in version 5.2.3 back in July 2014, without releasing any advisory.

However, Few Hours ago, Fortinet has finally published a security advisory and an official blog post regarding the incident, saying:

'This was not a 'backdoor' vulnerability issue but rather a management authentication issue. The issue was identified by our Product Security team as part of their regular review and testing efforts.'
