Dear Friends,

 

I have a 80C firewall , i would like to know whether it is possible to enable a log in mechanism by which i can allocate usernames and passwords through my fortigate firewall to each user, so that only valid credentials will be able to access the internet and the others will only limit to LAN access.

If can then please teach me how ?

 

many thanks in advance

 

Regards,

SANU

    Identity (in this case user or group) based policies is what you probably want :) FortiNet Cookbook has an article on this: https://cookbook.fortinet.com/creating-security-policies-60/

    Probably this is due to the securtiy default settings of FortiOS 5.4. and later. I had similar issuses with my dial up vpns. You might have to disable this in system->settings or where said in your screenshot.

    I figured it out already , when you set policy there is a option called "Compliant with FortiClient Profile"

     

    which we need to disable

     

    Any way i learned a lot from all the comments very informative thank you so much !!!!
