Disable FortiExplorer access

FortiOS v5.2 introduced a CLI command to allow you to disable FortiExplorer access.
FortiExplorer access is enabled by default.
To disable FortiExplorer access, enter the following command in the FortiOS command-line
interface:
config system console
set fortiexplorer disable
end
See the FortiOS CLI Reference in the Fortinet Document Library.

FortiAP Web-based Manager support

FortiExplorer v2.4 removed Web-based Manager support for FortiAP. FortiExplorer v2.4 and
later supports the Command-line Interface (CLI) only.
The WiFi controller setting, login-enable, under WTP entry will determine if the managed FortiAP
can be accessed through the FortiExplorer CLI.
