Hello,

 

We have FortiGate 6.4.9, my question about Traffic shapping policy i can configure the speed with ip address and work fine,

Now i configure the speed by username but don't work, for example:

User1  max speed 10MB

User2 max speed 20MB

 

don't apply to username when i use the username and ip in Traffic shapping policy.

 

Thank you

I don't think that you can limit per user/name, don't remember reading something about this.

Hello,

 

But in the document here:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.4/administration-guide/885253/per-ip-traffic-shaper

say allocates each user/IP address, or they mean by ip only ?

I think that they mean the fact that each user which has a unique IP in the network, that's why it's referenced as user/IP.

Since in the example in the firewall rules or traffic shaping, there isnt referenced a user or group I would think that is the case.

Hello,

 

No, I want to use the Traffic shaping policy for users, my problem now:

1. can't configure Traffic shaping policy with FortiGate proxy vdom.

2. if I don't use a proxy it gives me a web page to login for authenticating not auto-authenticating.

 

Thank you

What is the traffic flow from users to the proxy VDOM? Does it go through a VDOM link or straight into the VDOM?
