Hello again vijayakumar,

 

I found this solution. Can you tell me if it helps, please?

 

To address the issue of FortiSASE not recognizing the two user groups configured in the RADIUS server, follow these steps:

 

  1. Verify AD and RADIUS Configuration:
    - Ensure that both user groups are correctly configured in the Active Directory (AD) and are properly added to the RADIUS server.
    - Check that the RADIUS server is correctly communicating with the AD server and that the user groups are being recognized.

  2. Check FortiSASE Configuration:
    - Go to `Configuration > Profiles` in FortiSASE. - Ensure that both user groups are correctly configured and assigned to the appropriate profiles in FortiSASE.
    - Verify that the profiles are set to match the user groups from the AD server.

  3. Synchronize AD Connection:
    - Go to `Configuration > Domains` in FortiSASE.
    - Click on the AD domain card and click `Sync` to synchronize the AD connection with any updates from the AD server.

  4. Review Profile Assignment:
    - Ensure that the endpoint profiles are prioritized and assigned correctly based on matching AD domain users and groups.
    - Check if the profiles are being assigned based on endpoints assigned to different non-AD groups if applicable.

  5. Test Connectivity: Test the connectivity and authentication for both user groups to ensure they are being recognized by FortiSASE.

 

If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reviewing the logs for any errors or misconfigurations and consult Fortinet support for further assistance.
