Description This article describes an issue where dial-up IPsec VPN users may fail to connect after upgrading the FortiGate to version 7.4.8.
Scope FortiGate v7.4.8
Solution

VPN users may fail to connect to dial-up IPSec VPN after upgrading FortiGate to v7.4.8 when the user belongs to multiple groups.
This issue occurs when a radius message from fnbamd is larger than 8192, where eap-proxy discards the message.

The following logs may be seen in the eap_proxy debugs.

 

[1175] fnbamd_socket_update_interface-vfid is 0, intf mode is 0, intf name is , server address is 127.0.0.1:1812, source address is null, protocol number is 17, oif id is 0

This issue has been resolved in:
