To use it in a playbook, specify: community.fortios.fmgr_secprof_wanopt.

Synopsis

  • Manage WanOpt security profiles in FortiManager via API

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

adom

string

The ADOM the configuration should belong to.

Default: "root"

auth_group

string

Optionally add an authentication group to restrict access to the WAN Optimization tunnel to peers in the authentication group.

cifs

string

EXPERTS ONLY! KNOWLEDGE OF FMGR JSON API IS REQUIRED!

List of multiple child objects to be added. Expects a list of dictionaries.

Dictionaries must use FortiManager API parameters, not the ansible ones listed below.

If submitted, all other prefixed sub-parameters ARE IGNORED.

This object is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE with its options.

We expect that you know what you are doing with these list parameters, and are leveraging the JSON API Guide.

WHEN IN DOUBT, USE THE SUB OPTIONS BELOW INSTEAD TO CREATE OBJECTS WITH MULTIPLE TASKS
