Scope | FortiAuthenticator v6.6 and higher. |
Solution |
This error can appear in FortiAuthenticator v6.6.x in combination with Chrome versions:
Adding a new Fido Key to a user from FortiAuthenticator GUI, go to User Management -> Local Users, select the user, and edit it. Enable FIDO Authentication, select Register FIDO key, and the Add new FIDO Key window opens. Enter the key name and select OK.
The Next error appears: Invalid 'sameOriginWithAncestors' value
Solution: Check if any password manager browser extension is in use. In that case, the password manager extension is intercepting all possible authentication credentials, as the browser itself is prompting for authentication.
To add a new FIDO key, it is necessary to disable the extension in Chrome. There should be a possibility in some extensions in the settings to exempt certain URLs where FIDO might be used. |
