Certificate validation added to FortiGate email server configuration (299506)
When configuring the email server on a FortiGate to send out alert emails that use SMTPS, the FortiGate can validate the email chain, thus reducing the possibility of compromise.
In the CLI the configuration of the email is set up with the following syntax:
config system email-server set type custom
set reply-to <email address>
set server <SMTP server IP address or hostname>
set port <integer for SMTP server port>
set source-ip <SMTP server source address – IPv4 format> set source-ip6 <SMTP server source address – IPv6 format> set authenticate [enable| disable]
set validate-server [enable| disable]
security Connection security.
set security [none | starttls |smtps|
end
The set validate-server option is the new setting that enables the verification.
