Question

Where to start with ZTNA?

Hi there,

 

I've got a FortiGate running 7.2.9 and FortiClient EMS server running on 7.4.1 but I'm not quite sure where to start getting ZTNA up and running. We use Okta for our IdP and I'm presuming that'll be what manages the role based access control but I was hoping there was some guide available to walk you through getting everything working together.

 

Everything I've found so far has been for previous versions of FortiClient EMS which requires Active Directory (which we don't have.) If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would REALLY appreciate it!

 

Thanks!

Since you intend to use ZTNA with SAML (okta as IDP) you can refer to these links for this type of scenario:

 

The examples use FortiAuthenticator as IDP. That configuration you will need to adapt to Okta.

This other doc might give an idea for Okta configuration as IDP in FortiGate: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.0/administration-guide/499536/ssl-vpn-with-okta-as-saml-idp
