Hi everybody, 

In now, I need create Policy internet access with AD account. I already Ldap with AD Server but when create policy then can not access. 

After that, I read document and create windows polling group, add user group with FSSO and test but user can not access internet

I think, must install FSSO Agent. But I have questions below:

 

 FSSO Agent must install on AD Server or I can install at other server with collect/polling mode ?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

if you would like to use FSSO for passive user authentication, you have two options:
- Active Directory Connector would be for direct FSSO polling from the FortiGate, where the FGT connects directly to your AD server and retrieves Windows Security Logon Event IDs

- FSSO Agent on Windows AD: this is used for the connection towards the FSSO Collector Agent

On the FSSO CA you have the choice also between polling mode or DC-Agent mode:

If the user does not have internet access, if everything is configured correctly, you can try to check the following over CLI:
- diag firewall auth list | grep -A6 -B1 x.x.x.x -> replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the IP of the workstation used for the test

- if the user is shown as correctly authenticated in the firewall auth list with the correct IP, please verify the groups the user is shown as a member of, and if they match the FSSO group set in the firewall policy you expect the user to go through
