I am fairly new to Fortigates having previously mostly used Cisco ASA/Sonicwall/Checkpoint, I like what I've seen so far but am struggling to find ways of authenticating a machine on a VPN.
I'm expecting to use the client and full tunnel, ideally over SSL.
What I cannot find in the manuals or cookbooks is the ability to authenticate a connecting machine as well as a user. e.g. if I did this on a Cisco ASA I would have the choice or combination of several methods;
Machine certificate deployed through AD, a registry key, a file name or text file content, verified domain membership, verified group membership.
I haven't worked in a company yet that allows (or wanted) non-corporate machines to connect to the corporate VPN so this is a fairly common requirement.
Can somebody point me to the right documentation?
Thanks.
