## 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.
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.
web_proxy_global dictionary | Default: null | Configure Web proxy global settings.
| fast_policy_match string | Choices: enable disable | Enable/disable fast matching algorithm for explicit and transparent proxy policy.
| forward_proxy_auth string | Choices: enable disable | Enable/disable forwarding proxy authentication headers.
| forward_server_affinity_timeout integer |  | Period of time before the source IP's traffic is no longer assigned to the forwarding server (6 - 60 min).
| learn_client_ip string | Choices: enable disable | Enable/disable learning the client's IP address from headers.
| learn_client_ip_from_header string | Choices: true-client-ip x-real-ip x-forwarded-for | Learn client IP address from the specified headers.
| learn_client_ip_srcaddr list |  | Source address name (srcaddr or srcaddr6 must be set).
|  | name string / required |  | Address name. Source firewall.address.name firewall.addrgrp.name.
| learn_client_ip_srcaddr6 list |  | IPv6 Source address name (srcaddr or srcaddr6 must be set).
|  | name string / required |  | Address name. Source firewall.address6.name firewall.addrgrp6.name.
| max_message_length integer |  | Maximum length of HTTP message, not including body (16 - 256 Kbytes).
| max_request_length integer |  | Maximum length of HTTP request line (2 - 64 Kbytes).
| max_waf_body_cache_length integer |  | Maximum length of HTTP messages processed by Web Application Firewall (WAF) (10 - 1024 Kbytes).
