Description |
This article descibes when the FortiGate management status on FortiWLM inventory is 'INACTIVE'. Adding FortiGate on FortiWLM Inventory is not successful. |
Scope |
FortiGate management status on FortiWLM should be ACTIVE to push config and logging.
'Management server message: Authentication Failed' (This is shown on FortiWLM -> Network Manager -> Operate -> Inventory -> Device -> Edit respective FortiGate).
The password used on FortiGate to login as admin user is correctly typed during FortiGate addition.
FortiWLM tries to login to FortiGate every regular interval and hence when the FortiGate is added with a wrong password at the first attempt without correcting immediately will block the access to FortiGate from FortiWLM/ |
Solution |
Increase the number of maximum login attempts on Fortigate CLI:
This example sets the maximum number of login attempts to five.
# config user setting set auth-lockout-threshold 5 end |
