Question

IPSEC Password Policy

Hey guys,

 

Is it correct to say that when I disable the password policy on my FortiGate, the IPSEC tunnels with PSK configured in it will remain up and no network impact?

 

Background:

I have an existing IPSEC tunnel configured with PSK, also password policy is enabled.

I wanted to disable password policy.

 

Thank you!

hi,

according to this, https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Scope-of-password-policy-in-IPsec-tunnels/ta-p/400128 , only when you enable it if the current PSK doesnt meet the required policy it will display a warning message.

my guess is that when you disable it, it shouldn't do anything or have an impact on the current tunnels.
