Hi to Everyone, I am new to the Forti firewalls but I have firewall knowedge and I wanted to ask if the Fortigate Firewalls can share user information using FSSO with without Fortiauthenticator? I see that the FSSO is used to share user to ip maping , groups etc but from what I have seen from the documentation and youtube :) the Fabric Connectors can be the DC agent installed on a windows computer or the Fortiauthenticator but not another Fortigate firewall. Is that right? I want the users to authenticate to the VPN forti firewall and then the other forti firewalls after the VPN firewall to take the user info using FSSO, where the configured connector will be the VPN firewall but as I mentioned I do not know if this is possible. https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.4/administration-guide/450337/fsso https://help.fortinet.com/fmgr/50hlp/60/6-0-2/Content/FMG-FAZ/1200_Fabric_View/0600_Fabric%20Connectors/0800%20SSO-identity/0400_Create%20FSSO.htm 

Hey All,  I'm right in the middle of adding FortiSwitches to my current network. As of now, I have tp-link switches. I've already gone ahead and made a config converted over to fortilink and achieved basic connectivity, inter-vlan the whole nine yards. However, when I went to connect the fortiaps I can't seem to access them. I've gone ahead and made statics on each fortiap and still no luck. On the old switches, they worked perfectly and on the new ones I can't get them to connect at all. Any ideas would greatly help on what to check. When these fortiaps were connected to the fortiswitches, I couldn't get them to authorize in the fortigate nor could I access the HTTPs interface. When connected to old tp link switch no issues accessing the interface. The interface connected to these aps is configured as a trunk group with native-vlan being the same one configured on the tp-link. I don't have issues with any other device other than the fortiaps.  I'm using FortiSwitch

We recently performed a conversion from a Firepower to a FortiGate, and we had one tunnel that wouldn't come up. We found out during troubleshooting an authentication error that a special character in the PSK was not permitted, but we didn't have time to work with the vendor to remove them one at a time - we removed them all and just went with a long alphanumeric key, and it worked. Is there a list as to what isn't allowed? We have another conversion coming up in a few weeks that has between 30 and 40 IPsec tunnels, and we can't have surprises with this conversion. Thank you. 

Hello, I've got question about Denial policy in Fortigate. I put set up for DoS on my Wan IP with test thresholds like some examples below;   config anomaly edit "icmp_flood" set status enable set log enable set action block set quarantine attacker set quarantine-expiry 15m set quarantine-log enable set threshold 100 Now when I put some nmap scan from outside network to my WAN IP I get banned my IP address is putted on quaranteen list but even tough I can still ping WAN IP and I don't know why ? 

Hello, Recently got an 81f installed and I generated a Certificate and applied it to the Fortigate Administrative, users, and VPN settings, but when I connect to the Fortigate, I still get the Not Secure warning on any browser (Edge, Google, Firefox).  When I check the certificate on Chrome, it shows that it is not a valid certificate and that it was generated from Let's Encrypt and shows the generated date, and expiration date.  Any ideas on where to look for troubleshooting this issue? I am running on Firmware 7.0.9 if that matters.  Thanks!

Hi there, I'm new on Fortinet products. We just installed a FortiEDR solution and we have FortiClient EMS solution, so my question is : Do I have to enable the protection solution (Malware protection, Antivirus, Anti-Ransomware, Anti-exploit, Cloud based malware solution) on FortiClient Endpoint Management Server or the FortiEDR solution is enough to protect my endpoint. Thanks for your advices

Hi all,How would I go about finding an application signature for a VPN-proxy.The name is VPN-Super Unlimited Proxy by Mobile Jump Pte Ltd.I would like to block it, but it is not listed in application controls as a quick "add app", so I thought I could add it, but was stopped at the signature question. 

Hi What is difference between  executing keywords "GET" and "SHOW" with combination other keywords at Fortigate firewall CLI ??

Hello all, I come from a cisco background. Previously before picking up fortiswitches, we had to setup trunk ports to the fortiaps to pass the vlans for the SSIDs. On fortiswitches, do you setup the trunks within Fortigate as well for the fortiaps ? Also, between fortiswitches I noticed LACP auto trunking took place. Is that the proper way to do it is just let fortilink pick up the switches and handle trunking or should I configure trunking static/fortinet trunking between switches. Also, should a trunk be configured between the fortiswitches and fortilink port on the fortigate ? Thank you in advance

I am using console server to connect to all my network gears such as Aruba, Cisco, FortiAll Aruba can use micro usb console  and some usb-cAll new Cisco can use mini usb console and some usb-cFew Forti can use mini usb console SerialtoUSB converter already $8 (not including console cable)Good one generic micro usb cable only $2. 4x cheaper SUGGESTIONS:1. could you make all new Forti has microusb or usbc console tq  

Dears, I have question about deep inspection feature in fortiweb, I'm not sure if it's the right term in fortiweb but I mean decrypt incoming secure traffic, inspect it and encrypt again to send it for mail server as our case. my question is:Is the deep inspection is the default behavior in Fortiweb when we are using HTTPS protocol? I mean just uploading the server certificate and applying it in server policy with using web protection profile is enough? or there is additional setup? -We need fortiweb to inspect scure OWA traffic before [HTTPS traffic].

Hello everybody, I have a fortimanager with several ADOMs, and inside each ADOM there are devices that have a device name, what I would like to do is export the names of all the ADOMs and all the devices inside the ADOMs but I haven't found anything about it .Do you happen to think of anything useful about it? BR. 

Hello everyoneIn my company, I have two 200F FG. One for branch office, one for HQ. HQ and Branch are so close so I want to maybe connect two sites physically in one server room. I would like to use 200F as HA Active Passive mode but I am not sure about the performance. Here is why:If I use one FortiGate as active, it will have the traffic from Core switch that connectes to two distribution switch + 8 access switches in total. For subnets, I have currently 10 subnets each on FG, 18 FW policies eachDo you think that I could achieve to use FG 200F for all this traffic? there is no server or internal routing. Just pure internet connection :) 

Being new to the FortiGates, I probably have a misunderstanding on the log settings within the firewall policy. In the FortiManager, we have certain lines set to "Log All Sessions" that we are particular interested in, with the majority set to either "Log Violation Traffic" (for blocks) or  "Log Security Events", and it's set this way with the intent of somewhat restricting logs that are being sent to our SIEM. We have to pay for extra log data, so we'd like to trim out what isn't needed. After troubleshooting today, I believe this affects what's presented in the Log & Report > Forward Traffic. There were no results for a lline configured with "Log Security Events", but there was after this was changed to "Log All Sessions." Is it typical practice to set every line in the Firewall Policy to "Log All Sessions." I understand there is a logging level configured in the syslog configuration, but does the logging level in the firewall policy affect what goes out via sys

We recently converted from a Firepower to a FortiGate, and we have a problematic tunnel we just can't figure out what to do. The debug shows authentication is failing, but we've both confirmed and re-entered the PSK. We're also seeing the remote peer using 172.24.x.x as it's peer ID just before the authentication failure. They are using a Cisco ASR router and refuse to change their peer ID, although they did admit they have problems with both FortiGate and Palo firewalls. I've searched through numerous Fortinet documents, and I've had a TAC case opened a week with no progress. Is there anyone that can tell me how to change the remote peer ID for a VPN tunnel? Thank you.

Hi, We are getting the following alert on out FG50E:  The following intrusion was observed: "HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow". date=2023-03-21 time=08:30:46 devname=Fortigate_FG50E devid=FGT50E3U17032297 logid="0419016384" type="utm" subtype="ips" eventtype="signature" level="alert" vd="root" eventtime=1679401846773064861 tz="-0400" severity="critical" srcip=10.1.1.216 srccountry="Reserved" dstip=20.62.128.25 srcintf="lan" srcintfrole="lan" dstintf="wan1" dstintfrole="wan" sessionid=121219710 action="dropped" proto=6 service="HTTP" policyid=3 attack="HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow" srcport=57766 dstport=443 url="/artifactory/api/system/ping" direction="outgoing" attackid=12351 profile="default" ref="http://www.fortinet.com/ids/VID12351" incidentserialno=1166735929 msg="web_server: HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow," crscore=50 craction=4096 crlevel="critical" The user in question is getting this using Microsoft's Power Apps.  It loo

So using fgm logs and faz they both show me the same results. for some tcp session we can see number of packets sent and received is 0, along with data transferred 0, this makes sense, tcp handshake probably doesn't complete (or does complete then reject) and no further transactions happens, therefore we have a session with zero bytes transferred. All good.  But for UDP, the packet is just transmitted, now regardless of whether it makes it to the receiver or not,  how can it possibly be 0 bytes sent and received and 0 packets sent and received? I see this on both fmg and faz for some traffic. 

Hi community, I have upgraded an active/standby cluster of two FortiGates, but the process is the opposite that what I thought. The cluster HA override setting is disabled, so the uptime takes precedence over the firewall priority. This is my initial setup: FG-SPB01 - Priority 128 -> PrimaryFG-SPB02 - Priority 129 -> Secondary When I upgraded, the secondary firewall upgraded first and rebooted, and I saw the following (FG-SPB02 doesn't appear because it was rebooting): So far it is OK. After that, when the primary firewall upgraded and rebooted, I saw the following (FG-SPB01 after rebooting and up): So here, we see FG-SPB01 has higher uptime but it has the secondary role, while FG-SPB02 has lower uptime and it has taken the primary role. Is it OK? Shouldn't be the opposite? What am I missing? Regards,Julián

Hi, i wanted to make an inquiry, we have a client and we want to replace all their Cisco equipment with Fortinet, it is currently a 9-story hotel.The equipaments areCisco 2900 RouterSwitch 2960 switch for each room floorSwitch 3750 Corewith Cisco AP Aironetthey don't have firewall they do not have a DHCP server, currently the DHCP server is Mikrotik equipmentOaky, my idea is to remove everything and place Fortinet, for my proposal it occurs to me:FortiGate-100F (firewall/routing/dhcpservr)FortiSwitch-248E-POE (Core for vlans)FortiSwitch-124E-FPOE (switch for each floor)FAP-U231F-N (access point for each floor, two per floor) My question is am I correct or am I missing something? In addition, I would like to offer a second offer where only the fortigate is firewall, routing, dhcp server, and server for the vlans, i was thinking of a Fortigate-200F to meet this requirement and eliminate the FortiSwitch-124E-FPOE and thus only leave the switch in the floors. Can someone hel

Hi,This is the scenarioA VDOM named Mycompany is the main traffic VDOMA VDOM named MGMTFGD is responsible for connecting to Fortiguard (It's marked as the management VDOM)A VDOM named OOB is going to be used for Admins interaction and also sending logs to FortianalyzerThe Global VDOM is also present I want all the VDOMs (specially the MGMTFGD and Mycompany) logs to be sent to Fortianalyzer which is reachable via OOB VDOM When configuring FAZ-Override settings in Mycompany VDOM, I just have two options:1- Sending logs through the VDOM itself2- Sending logs through the management VDOM which is MGMTFGD In the command line, I cannot find any command to dictate the firewall sending logs neither through itself or the Management vdom (Here MGMTFGD) but using a third VDOM which is OOBAnd for security reasons I'm not going to change (Switch management) the Fortiguard VDOM to OOB. Hope its all clear Regards, 

We have two FG200F in active-passive HA config. Recently we tiggered upgrade from 7.2.2 to 7.2.4 using the GUI "wizard" as we have done multiple times before.When triggering the upgrade our two devices were"A" Active"B" Passive The upgrade started on B and after a short while the role of active was handed over tothe newly upgraded B.After that nothing seemd to happen on A. Now after waiting more then a day the HA status says that A is Not synchronized. "get system status" on A says version is still 7.2.2 The components not in sync seems to be: firewall.internet-service-nameendpoint-control.fctemssystem.federated-upgrade When looking at federated-upgrade on A i find:config system federated-upgrade   set status confirmed   set upgrade-id 2   config node-list      edit "FG200FTxxxxxxxxx"         set timing immediate         set setup-time 06:00 2023/03/19 UTC  &nbsp

Hi All, I have a central 100F and a small number of 60E's in regional offices. 60E's connect back to the 100F via IPSEC tunnels. I'm trying to monitor the 60E's via SNMP. Key points:IPSEC setup using default static FG-FG tunnel template.VDOM is not being used at either end.Specific rules have been setup for testing allowing essentially ANY/ANY for SNMP and ICMP to and from both ends.SNMP is enabled on the interface at the remote site.Tunnels have performed well for 2+ years and I can fire anything I need across it. (ie, DNS and Routing seem fine).Community has been set, along with ACL (which has also been removed and tested).I have extensive SNMP checks all over my networks which are working fine (ie, this isn't my first rodeo). Result:I can ping the remote interface gateway.SNMPGET and WALK returns "no response" (commands tested locally work fine). I can SNMPGET a bunch of other devices on that remote subnet and it works. When directing SNMP to the remote gateway,

Hi, I am following this kb article to reference default routes learned from bgp peers in the sdwan rules. So I created the route map and applied it to the bgp neighbors, however when referencing the tag from the sdwan rule I couldn't find the dst-tag item as mentioned in this part : config system sdwan config service edit 1 set mode priority set dst-tag 11 set health-check "datacenter1" set priority-members 1 2 next end end Seems like the dst-tag is not available, or do I need to enable something else? I tried both in a FG 600D 6.4.12 and a FortiVM (demo) with no luck: FortiGate-VM (1) # set dst-tag 11command parse error before 'dst-tag'Command fail. Return code -61   

Hi,I just purchased a FAZ and received the license file. Uploading the license file is successful and after login to FAZ 7.2 it goes to register with Forticare and says : Failed to connect to FortiCare servers. The appliance is in a secure zone and it can be only connected to Internet via a proxy server. I mean every connection such as DNS, HTTPS, ICMP, etc to Internet is only possible through a proxy server.In this situation, how can I set the FAZ to use that prox for connecting to forticare and complete the process and let me login and set up my device.I used config system web-proxy and it didn't work. Instantly it says:Failed to connect to FortiCare servers. Is there anyway to solve this and send all the traffic to the proxy server?Or maybe there is another trick to this? BTW, possible to skip this for now? Regards,
