FireDaemon Fusion
Spring Hill, Queensland, Australia
What it is
FireDaemon Fusion is a standalone web application for creating, editing, and managing FireDaemon Pro and built-in Windows services through a browser. It can connect to multiple computers running Fusion so administrators can manage services centrally. A RESTful API supports programmatic control, while administrator accounts can be limited to selected services and permissions to view, edit, start, or stop them. Fusion runs as a native Windows service with a dedicated web server and stores web-access logs on disk with recurring rollovers. Fusion 8 uses OpenSSL 3 with TLS 1.3 by default and supports passwordless multifactor authentication through Hanko Passkeys. SSL/TLS begins with a self-signed certificate, and administrators can install their own. Reverse-proxy integration with CORS is described for Nginx, Varnish, and Caddy. The 64-bit product runs on Microsoft Windows with Intel or AMD processors and is designed to work with FireDaemon Pro 6 only. A standard license costs $45, paid once, and a 30-day trial is listed.
