Hi, we are trying to replace our LDAP authentication with RADIUS and want to use the Group Filter on the RADIUS users. RADIUS already works for WiFi for all users without a filter. But we need filtering there as well. diagnose test authserver local wifi-ssid-test testuser testpasswd authenticate user ' testuser' in group ' wifi-ssid-test' succeeded works for local users, but when trying with a RADIUS account it does not work. Configuration looks like this: ... config user group edit " wifi-ssid-test" set member " myRADIUS" " testuser" config match edit 1 set server-name " myRADIUS" set group-name " VPNAdmin" next end next end ... Anybody else done that before? Thanks Rainer

    Hi, radius auth itself just for a user works fine. What we are trying to establish is a firewall user group to which only some of all of the users on the radius belong. Currently we use LDAP: config user group edit " vpn-ssl-portal-admin-group" set member " myLDAP" config match edit 1 set server-name " myLDAP" set group-name " CN=VPNAdmin,OU=T,OU=Gruppen,DC=ad,DC=corp,DC=local" next end next end We want to try to use RADIUS instead... Cheers Rainer

    Hello i Reply very later.... But to use authentication with RADIUS and autorization on AD group, You can use a rules on your Radius to return an special attributes radius : you can find the attribute list on : http://docs.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/50/index.html#page/FortiOS%205.0%20Help/Servers.068.08.html when you create your user group on firewall , you just specify the radius server to authentication and define the usergroup AD . On this, with the attribute ATTRIBUTE Fortinet-Group-Name 1 string In your access-Accept you need to see attributes : Fortinet-Group-Name = [Your AD group]. Now i have a problem when the user are in multiple usergroup.... If anyone know when i do that.... Thanks !
