I'm running 40F with the latest version, it has FortiSwitch connected to it and managed by the 40F running the latest firmware as well, and 831F access points connected to the FortiSwitch, using the latest firmware managed by the 40F.I understand that the recommended version is 7.2 and we're running 7.6looking at the downgrade guides it says that the configuration would be saved.is there a way to downgrade remotely without losing configuration ? or the only path is to downgrade and re-configure everything manually again ?  

 Hi all - I have been fighting with the FortiManager API for a while now.  With a Python script, I've been able to:Authenticate to FortimanagerQuery all Fortigates in FortiManageLoop through the devices to find a specific FortigateCollect details from any individual or all Fortigates includingInterface Status, IP address, subnet, vlan and descriptionGrab the Switch Hostname, Serial Number and number of portsI am struggling with figuring out how to pull the switch details for:Mgmt IP addressModel Number (It appears to part of the start of the serial number)I'm pretty sure I can get it pretty easy from the FortiOS directly, but I'm really hoping to pull the details from FortiManager with the same "connection".  I can see the details in FortiManager under FortiSwitches. Any ideas anyone? Thanks,-Todd 

We just received licensing for FortiClientEMS, and I'm not following the documentation for setting this up. 1. The request to build the FortiClientEMS server has been sent, but it will be a few days before it's ready. I don't have the ability to test anything on the server at the moment.2. We want to use Entra ID for the SAML SSO authentication. Do I need to configure SAML SSO on the FortiGate or the FortiClientEMS server? On the admin guide, this is stated: "Communication between EMS AD connector and AD servers: Enables synchronization of AD groups and users with EMS for endpoint management, policy enforcement, and SAML-based authentication." This occurs over TCP-8871, so I'm confused if the FortiGate or FortiClientEMS server authenticates the user. However, on all our FortiGates that are configured to use SAML SSO for administration, this is configured on the FortiGates.3. The FortiClientEMS documentation shows TCP-389/636 for LDAP to the AD servers. We do have on-prem AD server

Hi everyone, bit of a niche problem, I have many students working from home with laptops provided by us, they are hard configured to browse by the proxy we have set and they're locked down to keep it that way,  they can browse some times but not all. So we have an implicit proxy exposed on the FG's wan interface.The proxy is configured to default deny.There are proxy policies in place permitting access to Azure for the auth process to succeed which it doesA default policy is inplace that has the SAML_Group object associated against it to permit the learners access to the web, src=all + SAML_Group, dst=all, security= student-web-filter, Full SSL inspection.Clients win11, have the CA cert installed from the gate to their trusted ca stores. A session token is provided to the user post auth with 5 minute timeout.The user on their laptop can browse the web to certain sites, but then it suddenly blocks them going from say google to whatsmyip.In the logs I can see the successfu

Hi,I have a remote site A (SonicWall NSA) connected to site B (FortiGate) with IPSec tunnel. Site A is sending load balancing probes (over the tunnel) to site B, but it's targeting the WAN interface IP of site A. Traffic arrives on my tunnel interface at site B. Note that site A's probes are implicit and cannot be edited to target one of my local IPs on the local site. On the receiving site the FortiGate drops the traffic due to strict RPF, message as in logs below contains "reverse path check fail, drop". I tried setting up a DNAT with Virtual IP and got pass the initial above error, but still could not get the firewall policy to trigger correctly. When I enable below CLI bash stops working for some reason, so I suspect something is not right. Any idea if this is the right approach and what I should look at? Thnks. Policies are:vipconfig firewall vipedit "vpn-ahg-hub-probe-vip"set uuid 3e958d92-4f6b-51f0-67e8-xxxset extip 217.91.x.xset mappedip "192.168.10.1"  --> local L

I have FortiClient 5.4.2.0860 on Windows 10 and it will not work when I try to use it through the Wifi at my local library (had this problem once before at a mall also).  When using the library's Wifi, Forticlient gets to 10 percent and then says "Unable to establish the vpn connection. The vpn server may be unreachable". I can establish a Forticlient connection through most other Wifi networks just fine (hotels, Starbucks, airports, etc).    My company's VPN server is set up to listen using port 10443.   I have tried disabling Windows 10 firewall and Windows Defender and it doesn't help. Could the library's network be blocking port 10443?   Thank you, Tom

Hello Everyone, I am wondering about Fortigate with NAC license vs FortiNAC for OT device discovery and if there is any comparison ?  I know that Fortinet OT Security Service for Fortigate is for OT attacks and that for OT device discovery FortiNAC that is connected on layer 2 with the OT environment is needed as to be able to see arp, dhcp, dns, etc. and other OT related information but what about Fortigate with NAC license connected with fortilink to Fortiswitches?  From what I have found as info FortiNAC has better Advanced with profiling, behavior analysis for OT devices compared to FortGate with NAC license. But Maybe I am wrong ? I also think you can't stream logs to FortiNAC from Fortigate as so the FortiNAC to not be layer 2 connected to the OT environment which is a limitation if the Fortigate is already layer 2 connected and thus the FortiNAC also needs layer 2 connection even if Fortigate is already layer 2 connected but I could b

While we've been running FortiManager for years, we finally took the time to setup it up to fully provision a firewall using Provisioning CLI Templates. We built around 17 individual CLI Templates that configure various sections of the config, and once we could fully provision a firewall running them one at a time, we grouped them up into a CLI Template Group and were so disappointed when it immediately failed.  It appears that regardless of how you arrange the individual scripts in the Group, when you execute the script, it doesn't execute them sequentially, it consolidates all of the configuration and pushes in whatever order it feels like. In our case, the very first config it tries to push has a dependency on an interface that hasn't been created yet. I opened a support ticket reporting the Provisioning CLI Templates are running out of order and asked how to fix it. The answer I got was to run some of the CLI Templates independent of the Template Group, to ensure the

We are running Windows Server 2012 R2. We have installed the most recent FortiNet client (vpn only), version 5.2.0.0591. We have configured an SSL-VPN connection. When we click on the " connect" button, the status progresses all the way to 98% and then hangs. We have disabled the windows firewall, do not have any anti virus software installed, no group policies are being applied, and no other applications are running when we attempt to make the VPN connection. Thanks for helping!

Hello Everyone, Does FortiWeb ML Based Bot Protection need a javascript to be injected ? I am asking if it can be used for API traffic as well  Does FortiWeb ML Based Bot Protection need a javascript to be injected as from what I have read from FortiWeb Bot Protection: Machine Learning based Protection  it seems that the Biometric Based and Deception based Bot features would need this but I see no reason for ML/AI to need it. Outside of that I wonder if during DOS attacks normal urls start returning 5xx (Nginx returns 503 during DOS) or does not respond will this cause false positives as FortiWeb needs to be aware which urls were returing normal 2xx or 3xx responses and not to block the user with Bot protection?    

Hello team! I have a new question about FortiClient EMS.I need to authenticate FortiClient users with an active directory domain and with 2FASo far, I could add the active directory domain in my FortiCllient EMS, and I can use the domain users when I connect a FortiClient (Without 2FA)When I started to search into this, the first option I found, needed to have FortiAuthenticator, but we dont have FortiAuthenticator.The second option that I found, is using Fortigate with the security fabric option, but my fortigate is not in a security fabric, because we havent any FortiManager or FortiAnalyzerI did not found any other method.Is there a way to add 2FA to AD domain users just using FortiClient EMS and Fortigate? Thanks in advance.Regards,Damián
