Description

This article describes an issue where a pair of FortiGate in HA mode cannot connect to FortiToken Cloud and the FortiGate GUI is showing as no license when trying to activate FortiToken Cloud. 

Scope FortiGate, FortiToken Cloud.
Solution

Example debug outputs from the CLI: 

 

diagnose debug reset

diagnose fortitoken-cloud debug enable

diagnose debug enable

 

{"error_code": 403, "error_message": "Error ID: 86911c40-c8ed-401e-acf4-14f0d965809b, the sn FGT60FTKBBBBBBBB doesn't belong to the customer 1111111", "error_name": 403}
fas_ssl_recv_rsp[464]: fas_ssl_recv_rsp() is done!
fas_comm_https_req_rsp[524]: fas_ssl_recv_rsp() done with code: 403
fas_comm_https_req_rsp[526]: fas_comm_disconnect() done!
fas_get_service_info[499]: Failed to get service information from FTC server: 403!

 

To stop debug:

 

diagnose debug disable

diagnose debug reset

 

As shown in the debug the serial number FGT60FTKBBBBBBBB which is the secondary HA unit does not belong to the same FortiCloud account as the primary HA unit.

 

To resolve the issue, make sure both HA units are registered under the same FortiCloud account. 

 

If FortiGate was transferred from another FortiToken Cloud account, make sure to delete it from the old account as mentioned in this article: Technical Tip: Unable to connect to FortiToken Cloud after moving FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator from old account to the new account
