Description | This article describes how administrators can create local or remote administrator accounts with typically blocked symbols in the account name. |
Scope | FortiOS from 7.4.0 |
Solution |
As of FortiOS 7.4.0, there are certain restrictions on symbols that can be used while creating local administrator accounts. See the new features and enhancements #882815 in the Release Notes for more information.
Attempting to create a 'local admin' account will fail if the username does not match the requirements. However, in cases with remote administrators, an error may also be faced while creating an LDAP administrator account with a period ('.'): for example, 'a.smith'. Please, find the error screens below:
As a solution, create a 'Remote admin' account and, under the 'Type' field, select 'Match all users in a remote server group'. This option will create a wildcard group, and each member of this group can login to the FortiGate with admin privileges provided to them.
