Set up Fortinet FortiGate credentials in Duaer

Store Fortinet FortiGate connection details in Duaer for digital-organization nodes to use at runtime. Secrets are protected by the instance encryption key and are not written into node parameters.

Create a FortiGate REST API admin

The Duaer Fortinet FortiGate API credential:

  1. In FortiGate, open System > Administrators > Create New > REST API Admin, pick an admin profile, and add the Duaer server’s outbound IP to Trusted Hosts.
  2. Copy the generated API key into Access Token. It is shown once.

Duaer has no dedicated node for this service. In the HTTP Request node, set Authentication to Predefined Credential Type and pick the Fortinet FortiGate API credential. Refer to custom operations.

Fortinet FortiGate API fields in Duaer

In Duaer, choose Fortinet FortiGate API when you create a credential, then fill in these fields:

  • Access Token (required, secret)

Save the connection in Duaer

Open Credentials and create Fortinet FortiGate. Fill in the key, OAuth, or server fields. After you save, digital-organization nodes reference this credential instead of putting the secret in a parameter.

Credential values are protected by the instance encryption key. If you change or lose that key, stored credentials cannot be decrypted. See the hosting notes on encryption keys.

Who can use this credential

Who can see or edit it follows projects and roles. Do not paste secrets into chat or variables. External vaults are covered under external secrets.

Questions

Do Fortinet FortiGate secret values appear in Duaer node parameters?

No. In Duaer, Fortinet FortiGate secrets stay in the credential. Nodes only reference the credential. Execution records should not show the plaintext secret either.

What usually stops a Fortinet FortiGate credential from saving in Duaer?

Wrong fields, an OAuth callback that does not match the instance URL, or a role that cannot create credentials. Check the fields Fortinet FortiGate expects, then confirm you can create credentials in that project.
