Sync FortiClient Cloud (EMS Cloud) with Azure AD

Hello,

 

We are planning to manage many FortiClient and the company policy is to use SaaS as much as possible, that's the reason why we'd like to integrate FortiClient Cloud with our AzureAD instance.

 

Integrating with an on premise active directory seems possible (albeit complex and not well documented) : https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/l6sgxz/moving_from_ems_to_forticlient_cloud/

 

However I cannot see any information about a link with AzureAD, do someone know if it is even possible ?

 

Thanks

    Hello @vinch1218 ,

     

    it is not possible to connect EMS Cloud Instance with Azure AD currently. This will be implemented in the future of EMS product, however there is no precise ETA at the moment.

     

    Please follow regularly documentation links related to EMS, New Features and Release Notes. This info will be mentioned there once it's officially supported and available to use.

     

    Best regards,

    Antun

        I am also looking for a solution how to connect EMS to Azure AD. We are only using devices from AAD in conjunction with MS Intune. Any news?

        Have you tried the SAML integration? This works with our Azure AD users, their laptops are managed via Endpoint Manager/Intune and we have pushed the installation package to the laptops. All devices appear in EMS the correct verified user attached.

        With FortiCloud EMS 7.2.1, Azure AD connector is now available as a user source in the GUI.
