Dear All,

I would like to have some help regarding my scenario, The following below will be use;

 

1) Fortinet Firewall

2) Third party Wireless Controller and access point

3) FortiAuthenticator

All my wireless client will connect using the third party access point. The wireless authentication will be use EAP TLS as all the users will need to use a certificate to connect to the wireless.

 

Anyone can help me how to proceed with the setup and how to configured it. if am not wrong the setup should be follow like that wireless client---->Wireless controller----->Authenticator------>Fortinet Firewall

    I assume you are looking to so user identification and Identity Based Policy.  How you integrate depends on which vendor.  We can integrate with Aruba to detect logins using our API.  Other vendors we can use either their RADIUS Accounting to FSSO (preferred) or Syslog to FSSO.

    I have never worked with a Ruckus Wireless Controller however, a quick Google shows that they have the ability to send a RADIUS Accounting packet to a third party device:

     

    https://cloud4wi.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200537566-Ruckus-Wireless-devices-Controller-mode-and-Cloud4Wi

     

    Send these to the FortiAuthenticator and use the FSSO RADIUS Accounting feature to translate them into FSSO User entries.  This should just be a case of translating the RADIUS Attribute values correctly e.g.

     

    Username attribute: User-Name Client IP attribute: Calling-Station-Id User group attribute: Group

    Dear Carls,

    If i would like to do the same setup using certificate for each client to connect to the wireless instead of using username and password from windows AD.

     

    Can you advise me how to do it

    I would like all my devices like windows machines, IPAD,Mobile phone connect to the wireless network and using only a certificate and if their is no certificate on the device, it should not be able to connect to my network. For the mobile device can you tell me also how they will get the certificate install on the device. I would like also on my Fortiauthenticator act as my root ca and device certificate  for my devices.

     

    Thanks

    To perform client certificate based authentication you would need to configure your auth client and wireless device to use EAP/TLS. 

     

    PM me and I will send you a link to the draft EAP/TLS Guide for you to take a look at.

    Looking to do something similar with Ruckus.  This post uses NPS and user domain logins to register users with FSSO.  Might have some content that is relevant to your solution:
