| Description | This article describes the typical circumstances behind the 'FortiToken Mobile Activation'. |
| Scope | FortiAuthenticator. |
| Solution |
Event ID 10104 refers to any event log entry related to FortiToken Mobile activation. This log only included soft tokens (purchased and trial FortiToken Mobile) but not hardware tokens.
The sample system event message(s) will look like below:
date=2025-08-04 time=20:13:33+0000 oid=8888 logid=10104 cat="Event" subcat="Admin Configuration" level="notice" nas="" action="" status="" msg="FTM provision: token "FTKMOBXXXXXXXXXX", user "admin", activation code "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP"" user=""
date=2025-08-04 time=20:13:33+0000 oid=8888 logid=10104 cat="Event" subcat="Admin Configuration" level="warning" nas="" action="" status="" msg="Unable to load trial FTM tokens: unable to resolve server domain name" user=""
date=2025-08-04 time=20:13:33+0000 oid=8888 logid=10104 cat="Event" subcat="Admin Configuration" level="warning" nas="" action="" status="" msg="Unable to load trial FTM tokens: connection timeout" user=""
date=2025-08-04 time=20:13:33+0000 oid=8888 logid=10104 cat="Event" subcat="Admin Configuration" level="warning" nas="" action="" status="" msg="Unable to load trial FTM tokens: system error" user=""
date=2025-08-04 time=20:13:33+0000 oid=8888 logid=10104 cat="Event" subcat="Admin Configuration" level="error" nas="" action="" status="" msg="The FortiToken Mobile could not be deprovisioned while restarting activation: Unable to deprovision token FTKMOBXXXXXXXXXX: Unknown error. It has now been temporarily locked from future use." user="admin"
There are many other events, and they will still share the same event IDs under 10104. They can be viewed under Log Access -> Logs -> filter '10104'. In order for FortiAuthenticator to download the trial tokens successfully, make sure the FortiAuthenticator has sufficient internet access and is not being blocked by any firewall policy or security profile, such as web filtering.
Additionally, FortiAuthenticator must be able to resolve fortitokenmobile.fortinet.com to activate FortiToken Mobile.
Execute the following command from FortiAuthenticator SSH:
execute nslookup fortitokenmobile.fortinet.com
Correct output looks like:
Server: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer:
In case FortiAuthenticator cannot resolve fortitokenmobile.fortinet.com, check FortiAuthenticator DNS servers entry under FortiAuthenticator -> System -> Network ->DNS. |
