Question

Users Disconnect from FGT WPA2 Enterprise SSID Authenticated with Azure AD Domain Services LDAPS

We have configured our FortiGate with a WPA2-Enterprise SSID that authenticates via LDAPS pointing to an Azure AD Domain Services instance. All our company users are cloud-only and synced to Azure Domain Services. We do not have an on-premises AD or an Azure hybrid deployment, and we don't have FortiAuthenticator.

Users can connect to the Wi-Fi, but they suddenly disconnect, The connection then reconnects after some time either automatically or sometimes when the user manually reconnects.

I initially thought the issue might be due to network latency, so I set a traffic shaping policy that gives high priority and bandwidth to LDAPS traffic destined our Azur AD DS public IP, but the problem still persists.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?

Hi,

The WAP2 Enterprise authentication occurs when the client joins the SSID; following the successful four-way handshake and the client receives the IP address and is able to browse, the device does not need to be authenticated again. Client disconnections can occur unexpectedly as a result of interference or a coverage issue.Please ensure that you have a configured  channel with the least interference on the AP and that the AP has adequate coverage.
