## Synopsis

- This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify wanopt feature and profile category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.5

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- fortiosapi>=0.9.8

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
host string |  | FortiOS or FortiGate IP address.
https boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Indicates if the requests towards FortiGate must use HTTPS protocol.
password string | Default: "" | FortiOS or FortiGate password.
ssl_verify boolean added in 2.9 | Choices: no yes ← | Ensures FortiGate certificate must be verified by a proper CA.
state string added in 2.9 | Choices: present absent | Indicates whether to create or remove the object. This attribute was present already in previous version in a deeper level. It has been moved out to this outer level.
username string |  | FortiOS or FortiGate username.
vdom string | Default: "root" | Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit.
wanopt_profile dictionary | Default: null | Configure WAN optimization profiles.
| auth_group string |  | Optionally add an authentication group to restrict access to the WAN Optimization tunnel to peers in the authentication group. Source wanopt.auth-group.name.
