CLI Commands:

config webfilter profile edit default config ftgd-wf config quota edit 1 set type traffic set value {a number in the range of 1 – 4,294,967,295}

Restricting access to YouTube (replacement for the YouTube Education filter feature) (378277)

Previous versions of FortiOS supported YouTube for Schools (YTfS). As of July 1, 2016 this feature is no longer supported by YouTube. Instead you can use the information in the YouTube support article Restrict YouTube content on your network or managed devices to achieve the same result. FortiOS supports applying Strict or Moderate restrictions using HTTP headers as described in this article.

In FortiOS 5.6 with inspection mode set to proxy-based, in a Web Filter profile under Search Engines you can select Restrict YouTube Access and select either Strict or Moderate.

New diagnose command to delete avatars (388634)

New diagnose command to delete avatars (388634)

Commands to delete avatars by FortiClient UID or avatar name have been added to the CLI.

the two following commands has been added to diagnose endpoint avatar: l diagnose endpoint avatar delete <ftcl_uid> l diagnose endpoint avatar delete <ftcl_uid> <username>

The attribute delete did not exist before. The values <fctl_uid> and <user_name> describe a set of avatars. If only <fctl_uid> is defined, all avatars belonging to this FortiClient UID that are not being used will be removed. If both values are defined, the avatar belonging to them will be removed unless they are being used in which case this call will cause an error to user.
