» FortiOS Provider

The FortiOS provider is used to interact with the resources supported by FortiOS. We need to configure the provider with with the proper credentials before it can be used.

» Example Usage

# Configure the FortiOS Provider
provider "fortios" {
    hostname = "54.226.179.231"
    token = "jn3t3Nw7qckQzt955Htkfj5hwQ6jdb"
}

# Create a Static Route Item
resource "fortios_networking_route_static" "test1" {
    dst = "110.2.2.122/32"
    gateway = "2.2.2.2"
    # ...
}

» Authentication

The FortiOS provider offers a means of providing credentials for authentication. The following methods are supported:

• Static credentials
• Environment variables

» Static credentials

Static credentials can be provided by adding a token key in-line in the FortiOS provider block.

Usage: hcl provider "fortios" { hostname = "54.226.179.231" token = "jn3t3Nw7qckQzt955Htkfj5hwQ6jdb" }

» Environment variables

You can provide your credentials via the FORTIOS_ACCESS_HOSTNAME and FORTIOS_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variables. Note that setting your FortiOS credentials using static credentials variables will override the environment variables.

Usage:

$ export FORTIOS_ACCESS_HOSTNAME=192.168.52.177
$ export FORTIOS_ACCESS_TOKEN=q3Hs49jxts195gkd9Hjsxnjtmr6k39

Then configure the FortiOS Provider as following:

provider "fortios" { }

# Create a Static Route Item
resource "fortios_networking_route_static" "test1" {
    dst = "110.2.2.122/32"
    gateway = "2.2.2.2"
    blackhole = "disable"
    distance = "22"
    weight = "3"
    # …
}

» VDOM

If the FortiGate unit is running in VDOM mode, the vdom configuration needs to be added.

Usage:

provider "fortios" {
    hostname = "192.168.52.177"
    token = "q3Hs49jxts195gkd9Hjsxnjtmr6k39"
    vdom = "vdomtest"
}

resource "fortios_networking_route_static" "test1" {
    dst = "120.2.2.122/32"
    gateway = "2.2.2.2"
    blackhole = "disable"
    distance = "22"
    weight = "3"
    priority = "3"
    device = "lbforvdomtest"
    comment = "Terraform test"
}

» Versioning

The provider can cover both FortiOS 6.0 and 6.2 versions.
