Hi,

 

I am configuring a Fortigate 100D with Maximum Local Users = 1000

Is there a way to extend that limitation. I can't input anymore users since I reached 1000.

The log in's will be use for SSL VPN clients.

    FG-1000C running v5.2.3 supports 5.000 local users, 350 users per group and 800 user groups.

    This is the first FGT to support more than 1.000 local users.

     

    All values from 'Maximum Values List' on docs.fortinet.com.

     

    Happy upgrading. Or get an LDAP server set up. Or a FortiAuthenticator.

    We are assuming config user local  but you could use AD groups mappings.

     

    If this is system admin issues than wildcards "*" would get you more than any hard limits.

    Agree with emnoc, for such a huge number of users you should authenticate via LDAP/MSAD.

    Limits like this are hardcoded, no way to extend them (other than upgrading the hardware).
