Forticloud EMS - Add a Domain

  • August 8, 2022

I'm working on a new ZTNA deployment and I would like to create tags based on domain OU membership.  Is this possible when using Cloud EMS?

 

It appears I would configure SAML Configuration under user management in EMS, but I've only found instructions for using my firewall as the identity provider.  I thought I would be using Azure AD as the IdP like I did for Admin and VPN access.

I think I found the answer to my question. 

 

FortiClient Cloud does not currently support initial FortiClient deployment to AD devices. To use this feature, use on-premise EMS instead of FortiClient Cloud.

Thanks Anthony!

The documentation makes sense to me for an on-premise EMS deployment, but I'm not sure how I'd apply this to a cloud deployment.

Hello,

 

Ha yes!

 

That is why the document I found was specifying EMS.
