FortiAP 421E Blocked by local-in-policy

I'm trying to setup a couple of AP. I got the AP setup in the FortiGate unit but its being blocked by the local-in-policy. Am I even looking at the correct local-in-policy? I even tried setting the deny to accept on the 2nd and 4th policies. Only wan1 is active wan2 is disabled, these are configured for SD-Wan. We stopped using the 2nd wan some time ago, I just haven't reconfigured the fortigate unit. Any advice on getting the AP connecting would be greatly appreciated.

 

Devices:

FortiAP 421E - v6.0.5 - 192.168.1.178

FOrtiGate 200D - v6.0.5 - 192.168.1.100

 

 

config firewall local-in-policy edit 1 set intf "wan1" set srcaddr "usa" set dstaddr "all" set action accept set service "ALL" set schedule "always" next edit 2 set intf "wan1" set srcaddr "all" set dstaddr "all" set service "ALL" set schedule "always" next edit 3 set intf "wan2" set srcaddr "usa2" set dstaddr "all" set action accept set service "ALL" set schedule "always" next edit 4 set intf "wan2" set srcaddr "all" set dstaddr "all" set service "ALL" set schedule "always" next end

    Have you checked CAPWAP on the internal interface?  Has the AP been authorized?

    I did not have the CAPWAP enabled on the FortiGate internal interface. Enabled it and a minute or two later the unit status is now showing Online. Thank you very much!

     

    Now to cancel the ticket. I tried Support Chat first and they forwarded it to support.
