Hi all,

I try to understand how to access Fortiauthenticator via cli for troubleshoot dns resolution.

I check via putty the port is open, but I don't have permission to access with full permission user.

I need to execute a simple dns lookup and ping to reach push.fortinet.com and ftc.fortinet.com .

Thank you

Vincenzo

Hi Salon,

I solved creating a new account. But I suspect there was some issue with old account and related password.

In the new account I checked administrator and full permission.

Thank you

Does the terminal open and ask for credentials, is the login successful?

The CLI access in FortiAuthenticator has limit functionalities. The requested commands can be run as follows:

> execute nslookup push.fortinet.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1:53

Non-authoritative answer:
push.fortinet.com canonical name = push.fortinet.com.geo.fortinet.net
Name: push.fortinet.com.geo.fortinet.net
Address: 154.52.2.160

Non-authoritative answer:
push.fortinet.com canonical name = push.fortinet.com.geo.fortinet.net

> execute ping push.fortinet.com
PING push.fortinet.com (154.52.2.160): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 154.52.2.160: seq=0 ttl=56 time=2.802 ms
64 bytes from 154.52.2.160: seq=1 ttl=56 time=2.654 ms
