Solved

I have recently set up some SSL VPN Portals on a Fortigate, that are mapped to specific groups, the Fortigate is a Radius client from the FAC, The FAC uses LDAP to look up the user in AD, then looks at RSA for a token to authenticate the users.   All of the above is working abolutely fine, except for groups being passed to the Firewall to be used in the Portal mappings and Policies. I have to create a user on the Gate as a remote radius user, using the same name exactly that the FAC uses. this works... but some of the portals have 30-40 users. I had to create 30-40 individial users with the same name as the FAC.   Groups dont work in the same way, The documentation say you just create a Firewall Group with the same name on the Firewall, and make sure the FAC is sending the group-name attribute, which in my case it is., but it doesnt work, I have to switch back to using username. is this a bug?

I have a problem with Fortinac. Quarantine vlan defined in fortinac interfaceFortinac port 2 ip address10.10.24.100Quarantine vlan10.10.22.10-10.10.22-250I turned on vlan quarantine in Fortigate firewallGateway10.10.22.1DHCP relay 10.10.24.100When I do this, a user who enters the quarantine vlan gets ip without any problem.But my main problem is thisI have a domain and users log in with LDAP. However, in the quarantine vlan, the user cannot log in. It gives a domain error. If I manually enter the domain in the DNS section in the network settings, it gets better. But I cannot add DNS because DHCP distributes nac.How can I solve this?

Is there a way we can tell how much memory has been allocated to Fortiauthenticator VM. All I see is a System resource widget which tells me memory allocation not the total amount of memory and 'get system status' does not help either?  Tried looking in admin guide could not find any reference. 

I have 2 vlans named Nac vlan and quarantine vlan.The nac vlan is defined in Fortinac ethernet2. dhcp relay to the nac vlan is available in my quarantine vlan. the two vlans communicate with each other and with the active directory. However, I have a problem like this. a device that has just joined the network joins the quarantine vlan. although the quarantine vlan has communication with the active directory, I cannot get the device to the domain. when I enter the ip address of the active directory as dns to the device in quarantine, I can get the device to the domain. why could this problem be? or is there a place where I can enter dns under the quarantine vlan?

Hello, everyone,I would like some advice on how I could make a bridge of a LAN subnet over a WAN connection.I would like to use a GRE tunnel that succeeds through an IPSEC connection between the two FGTs the ability to reach hosts from the other site that share the same subnet. However, I have not found many examples of this configuration.Instead, I have seen a solution called Lan Extension that uses an IPSEC tunnel where VxLANs are carried. It is a solution that I see as very complicated to put on .Do you have experiences for this kind of needs and scenarios ?Thanks   Fabio

Hi, how is it possible to classify alerts coming from FortiSIEM (or coming from other)? I would like to be able to decide, based on the contents of a field, which playbook to activate. I can do this in a playbook that identifies the type of alerts and activates the corresponding subplaybooks. Is there a better way?

Hello,   We currently use a single VPN to get into our office, this VPN is using a software switch as the interface.   However, I need to create another VPN for a separate purpose (because I need to provide another subnet range to these special VPN clients). I have tried creating another VPN and I have added the same software switch as the interface, but I am unable to connect to this VPN.   This software interface has 1 main gateway IP and 4 secondary external IP addresses.   How can I implement this second VPN?   Thanks    

Hi community! I've been using the FAZ handlers and they've been a great help. I am trying to exclude the notifications for a specific network, so according to documentation it has to be inserted with Regex in Generic https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/7.4.2/administration-guide/157132/using-the-generic-text-filter For example this one works fine without adding the following sintax: and !(srcip~"10.39.14\.[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]")   I was trying to exlude network any notification from a host within this network: 10.39.14.0/24 Bolded text is what comes in the handler, the rest is added by me (catdesc=='Malicious Websites' or catdesc=='Phishing' or catdesc=='Spam URLs' or catdesc=='Newly Observed Domain' or catdesc=='Newly Registered Domain' or catdesc~'Dynamic DNS' or catdesc=='Proxy Avoidance') and !(srcip~"10.39.14\.[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]") However after the change I stopp

Hello All. I need to deploy Fortinet solution in small factory ( FG, FS ) and I have a question , How to connect exist ring to MCLAG cluster ( this red Ring ) - Can I mix Ring redundancy with MCLAG redundancy ?  or option 2  ofc in this ring will be more installed FSwitches. I know that in some point STP discard link , but how to avoid often recalculations of STP.part of infrastructure exist and I don't want to install new cables everywhere  What happened if I connect another ring next to red one ?

Hello!I have a simple WiFi for legacy devices working well with Cisco WLC, Cisco AP's and SSD with static WPA password.Today I started to integrade this WiFi with FortiAuthenticator for MAC Authentication - MAB. But i am having problems.The problem is that the authentication is working well, but the DHCP server is not delivering IP when on this mode.When I just break this integration from Cisco Wireless and FortiAuthenticator, this returns to deliver IP from dhcp.Has anyone here already implemented one of these?

Hello, I have an SSID set up on my AP that is only password protected. I've set the new DHCP server to Fortigate. School laptops and tablets connect to this SSID. However, my wifi password has been leaked to the world and I would like to ask...Can I use the DHCP options to set the IP address assignment? If I know that my laptops were made in a series and therefore have the same start of mac address, can I use Option 60 to give the devices with the specified start of mac address an IP Address? Alternatively, if the laptops and tablets are named similarly could I do the same using Option 12?Did I understand this correctly?Thank you for the answer.

Hello team, The Fortigate firewall's application control recognizes the MMS application on port 3389, I would expect it to recognize RDP. How does MMS get recognized as an application?Thank youBR

Hi   We recently upgraded from 6.0.5 to 6.0.9 and then changed the Fortiguard protocol from UDP to HTTPS.  Since then we are occasionally getting block messages 'An error occurred while trying to rate the website using the webfiltering service.   I've looked at the kb article https://kb.fortinet.com/k....do?externalID=FD33528 but am slightly confused about the sentence "This will allow users to access the web sites when a rating error occurs, and will allow the FortiGate unit to use the FortiGuard Web Filtering database that it has stored on the unit to rate the web site."   Can I just confirm that it means when it can't reach fortiguard it will rate the website using the local db and will allow/block access accordingly.  Just looking at the option on the FG "Allow websites when a rating error occurs" suggests that it is going to allow it whatever the rating is.   Thanks for your time

I have a 6 fortiswitches managed by fortilink that all show the same device info for each port multiple times. I have no idea what is causing this. This site is having multiple issues and my logs show nothing unusual. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.     

I am experiencing challenges in setting up a functional IKEv2 for dialup iOS devices. I have an IKEv1 tunnel which is working normal but I'd like to switch to IKEv2.

Hi All, I'm in the process of migrating from a Sonicwall to a FortiGate and I have come up against a NAT setting on the Sonicwall that I'm not too sure how to recreate on the FortiGate. On the Sonicwall I have several NAT policies that will do for example.Translate ports that are not in a range or sequential, but are members of Service group.  E.g. Public IPOutside Port/Service GroupPrivate IPInside Port/Service1.2.3.4PhoneSystemPorts192.168.1.10PhoneSystemPorts Service Group: PhoneSystemPortsMembers:PhoneSystemPort1 : TCP 80PhoneSystemPort2 : TCP 8000 Is this possible to recreate with Virtual IPs, Optional Filters and Services?Do I just leave the Port Forward option switched off? Or do I need to create multiple ViPs to recreate this? Any advise welcome.

Hi, What could be the reason that the switch appears not registered after updating a version to FW? to 7.4.3

We have 2 FortiADC 220 in our network .  We noticed that no clients could connect to our Application server.  When we failed over from master to slave everything started to work.  We noticed master was not allowing any new sessions.  Any help in this matter would be great.   Any suggestions please?

Hi Everyone, Currently we Utilized NPS Extension (Microsoft Entra ID) to provide the MFA when Access SSL VPN, It works perfect. Now, I am planing to migration SSL VPN to ZTNA (TCP Forwarding) and intend to reuse the NPS extension to provide the MFA when off network access. can someone please provide the guidance for me? is it possible with AZURE SAML can be authenticator to provide the MFA? Thanks  

Hey folks,   Ever since upgrading my 200D to 6.0.5 (now 6.0.9) when using the FC to connect to the SSL VPN, I have constant disconnects with Outlook and RDP sessions. Pings never fail or timeout, but I get disconnected from my RDP sessions every minute or so, making it completely unusable. I have a ticket open with support, but honestly, they seem to be dragging their feet. Anyone else seen this behavior and figured out a solution? I have 150 users about to be forced to WFH and this is completely unacceptable. The only work-around I've found is using an IPSEC connection, but that's not realistic. 

Really simple set up. I have a VIP which is just the interface (PORT 3) and I have a policy, that uses the VIP and a server pool of 1 backend web server, which is on the same VLAN, (one arm deployment I believe its called) this server is up and listening on port 80, the FWEB does nothing with it, so I must of missed something simple?I do a capture, and can see the client come in, targeting port 8080. I see the 3-way handshake, but nothing get sent to the backend webserver?I can ping the web server and do a telnettest on port 80 and it comes back "connected" really struggling to see whats wrong, back end server pool is all correct and listening on port 80any silly mistakes I may have made?

Hi, I just want to know how to fix the greyed out SWG Configuration Tab on FortiSASE. 

Got a site which has a FortiGate 60F with a configuration which we would like to enhance by adding a secondary FortiGate 60F in an active-passive cluster. Main goal here is to leave the site up-and-running while performing a firmware update or something of the sort. The FortiOS active (at present) is 7.0.13. So I found this: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.13/administration-guide/900885   Seems pretty straight forward, but rather than dive in head first on site, I figured... I have two spare FortiGates and a Fortiswitch, so I can just build a testcase and see what happens. Not that we're playing with an HA cluster anyday, so we'd rather make sure I have a reproducable result before trying it in the liver environment. So did just that, and while I needed to accomodate for the test environment (by authorizing the switch and adding a couple of VLANs to facilitate the topology), I managed to get the existing (non HA FortiGate) situation up and running with a copy of t

Hello everyone, I need your help in order to see if my approach, as title explains, is correct.We have a client that have in his possession 2 FGT 3400E that are working in virtual cluster with VDOM A on Primary & VDOM B on Secondary.For the conversion my initial thought is to shutdown the Secondary FGT, so VDOM B will go to Primary, and then change Primary to Active-Passive HA with the hope that when Secondary comes back online will take the configuration.Is this approach viable?? or destined to fail??? Thanks in advance for your time & answers
