ike 0:Test_Spoke:140157: certificate validation failed The certificate validation is failing because Spoke FortiGate is not able to build up the certificate chain to the Root CA. Only the Sub-CA was imported to the Spoke FortiGate. Note: Sometimes, when multiple CA certificates are used make sure that only the correct CA certificate is pushed by FortiManager in all the spokes which can validate the certificate used by FortiGate while connecting with the peer devices. Import the Root CA also to the Spoke FortiGate to fix the issue.
