Description This article describes why it is not possible to configure SSID security mode to WPA3 OWE via GUI.
Scope

FortiGate, FortiAP.

Solution
  1. All the prerequisites need to be fulfilled as per the below article for full WPA3 support before checking any further steps: WPA3 Security
  2. When configuring a new SSID, no option is available to select SSID security mode as OWE via FortiGate GUI.

  1. It will be visible over FortiGate GUI, once it is configured via CLI:

However, it will still not be available for any other SSID which is created from scratch. It will be only seen on the GUI of the SSID on which OWE is configured via CLI.

 

For detailed configuration of other WPA3 security options, refer to this document:
