The primary integration for a firewall is done by adding the credentials to the supported firewall under the company-level https://cybercns.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=RPS&title=Discovery%20Settings%20and%20Credentials

We have a how-to created here for this: How To: Add and Map Firewall Credentials

Some firewalls may require additional configure directly in the firewall settings; check our documentation for additional information found under the FIREWALLS section.

Create ConnectSecure User

In FortiGate, navigate to System >Adminstrators and click the Create New + drop and select Rest API Admin

Please set a username for the API administrator account and select its profile. Use an existing profile, create a new one, and limit permissions to what the plugin will be used for.

Select add from the Adminstrator Profile drop-down:

When creating a new profile, make sure to give it a name and assign the appropriate permissions. You can also provide a brief description of what this profile is allowed to do and where it will be used. Keep in mind that the plugin actions will need at least Firewall Read permissions.
