Question

Cannot connect FortiClient EMS to FortiGate

I've installed EMS (v. 7.2.9 but I've also tried with 7.4.3) and activated a trial license on it as well as on my FortiGate-VM (v. 7.4.4). Trying to connect EMS with Fabric Connectors on FortiGate, the ping is going, it establishes a connection, I'm accepting the certificate and then I'm getting "FortiGate not authorized" notification. As I understood, I should authorize it from "Fabric&Connectors->Fabric devices" menu on the EMS, but the FortiGate doesn't appear there. What should I do and is this possible with trial license?

hello,

i'm also using a EMS trial version 7.4.3 and on a FGT running 7.2.10 i am able to add the EMS server and in EMS under Fabric & Connectors > Fabric Devices it appears to be authorized.

    But what kind of license do you have on FGT?

    I dont have any active licenses on it, they are all expired and it shouldnt really as far as i know, it shouldnt have any impact.
