Question

FortiManager pxGrid Connection

I wanted to connect a FortiManager with pxGrid ISE according to the following Installation Guide: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.4.2/administration-guide/466394/creating-cisco-pxgrid-connectors

 

We have uploaded the certificate in FortiManager and created the pxGrid Connector under Fabric Connectors. The FortiManager is also already listed on the ISE server. But when I go to External Connectors -> the pxGrid Connector Apply & Refresh I get 2 errors (see screenshots). Does someone know what could be the reason for this error? In addition, the screenshots in the Administration Guide show an older software version of the Manager and the extra function "Single Sign On" is no longer available on the Manager V.6 & V7.

 

Thank You

What version of ISE?  Has Fortinet updated this connector for pxGrid 2.0?

Hi adambom1219, the Version of the ISE is V3.2.

ISE 3.1 removed support for pxGrid 1.0.  I would open a Fortinet TAC case and ask if Fortinet updated the pxGrid code in FortiManager for pxGrid 2.0.  
If the FortiManager side still requires pxGrid 1.0, then you need your ISE server to be on version 3.0 which: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/identity-service-engine-software-3-0.html
