| Description | This article describes FortiIdentity Cloud's basic troubleshooting when it is configured on FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator. |
| Scope | FortiGate, FortiAuthenticator. |
| Solution |
There are various advantages to using the FortiIdentity Cloud.
It is easily possible to associate Tokens with users on FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator:
After selecting the option for FortiIdentity Cloud, FortiAuthenticator will update the FortiIdentity Cloud service, and an activation email will be sent at the same time with a QR code. Log in to FortiIdentity Cloud, and some general information will appear about FortiProducts selected to use FortiIdentity Cloud, as well as users, realms, and SMS credit.
Also, if 'Users' is selected, the associated user will be visible with the FortiIdentity Cloud that is enabled on FortiGate and FortiAuthenticator.
FortiIdentity Cloud is enabled by default on FortiGate; it can only be enabled globally by FortiGate and not by VDOM.
fgt # config global fgt (global) # config system global fgt (global) # set fortitoken-cloud enable
FortiToken Cloud CLI on FortiGate:
Some troubleshooting commands to run on FortiGate CLI:
config global diagnose debug console timestamp enable diagnose fortitoken-cloud debug enable diagnose debug application fnbamd –1 diagnose debug application httpsd 255 diagnose debug enable
If using the FortiIdentity Token while connecting to SSL VPN, include:
diagnose debug application sslvpn –1
If using the FortiIdentity Token while connecting to IPsec, include:
diagnose debug application ike –1 diagnose debug application eap proxy –1
If using a hardware box and offloading is enabled, disable offloading to collect the logs. Follow this article: Technical Tip: FortiGate Disable Hardware Acceleration.
To disable the debugging:
diagnose debug disable
From debug logs on the FortiGate side for user test, see the below output:
The output below is for a different test user: pirlo from FortiAuthenticator. Check Radius debug logs from FortiAuthenticator: https://<FAC-IP>/debug/radius.
On the FortiIdentity Cloud portal, it is possible to see any errors related to users' authentications from the logs: Logs- Authentication.
It is also possible to download a copy of the user authentication, filter for any date, and export this file in a CSV format.
