Description This article describes how to troubleshoot SSL VPN 'Credential or SSL VPN configuration is wrong (-7200)' error while using foreign characters in password.
Scope FortiOS
Solution

Let's consider the following example

 

 Example: With 'Lé0testpwd$' as the password, radius users authentication via FortiClient VPN is unsuccessful. Whereas when the password is modified as 'Le0testpwd$' authentication is successful.

 

This includes characters with an accent like è, î, ç, etc.

To over come this issue, change the encoding of radius server:

 

# config user radius
    edit <radius name>
      set password-encoding ISO-8859-1
  end

 

Instead of using original encoding, ISO-8859 is an extension which uses few variations like ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, etc.

 

In this case ISO-8859-1 is used as it contains those accent characters of European languages.
