Hello everyone,

This might be a basic question, but what is the purpose on integrating FortiNAC with an LDAP server

BR,

FortiNAC

Best answer by ebilcari

Mostly the LDAP/AD integration it is used for host/user network authentication and role based access, typically using PEAP/MSCHAPv2, some details are shown here: Technical Tip: MSCHAPv2 authentication, join FortiNAC in domain and checks

Portal authentication for BYOD devices: Configure authentication credentials

or Agent authentication: Credential configuration.

Some details are also covered here: Technical Tip: Control BYOD access and Technical Tip: FortiNAC v7.6 LDAP group membership based on 'User' or 'Device' type Registration

Hello Emirjon,

So it is used for authentication. Kinda like the same concept in Fortigate, you have users/groups and then create a firewall policy to give them access to a specific service (like VPN with Forticlient etc) ?
