Hello,

I need help with an ansible deployment I would like to create a user account (admin) on fortinet.

but when I play the playbook I have an error that I can’t debug if someone in the group has already encountered this error when deploying on fortinet could he help me.

i share my simple test configuration below:

**inventary hosts:**  
[forti]

**testForti.yml**

hello,

i resolve the issue .  
i see that ansible check " [https://192.168.1.136:443/logincheck](https://192.168.1.136:443/logincheck)" , but in fortinet the port:443 is use for the sslvpn.  
So the best practice is to use new port for the management admin exemple: 4433 and configure a certificat (in system setting fortigate) and enable https on the phisycal port.

So ansible can https for the connection to the FW

just change:  
ansible\_httpapi\_port: 443 → ansible\_httpapi\_port: 4433
