Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
Users logged into SSL VPN are considered as firewall users and users logging into a domain-joined machine are FSSO users.
To view FSSO users, Navigate to Dashboard -> User and Devices -> Firewall users, and on the right side top, select 'Show all FSSO Logons'.
Note:
It is even possible to list the FSSO users using the following command in CLI:
diagnose debug authd fsso list
Knowing the user or IP, the output can be filtered using 'grep', for example:
diagnose debug authd fsso list | grep -i user123
Alternatively, the output can be made readable by showing all the users the firewall knows, more closely to what the dashboard of Firewall users shows:
Fortinet153 # diag firewall auth list 10.10.20.x, ADMIN1 10.10.20.x, IT type: fsso, id: 0, duration: 6, idled: 2 server: Local FSSO Agent packets: in 11 out 12, bytes: in 6556 out 1098 user_id: 16777222 group_id: 33554436 33554435 group_name: CN=LDAP_Admins_Apple,OU=LABou,DC=startrek,DC=fortinet,DC=lab CN=Labgroup- Apple,OU=LABou,DC=startrek,DC=fortinet,DC=lab
diagnose firewall auth list | grep -i -A 7 user123
In this example the username is IT.
Fortinet153 # diag firewall auth list | grep -i -A 7 IT
Note: The following commands can be used for FSSO troubleshooting.
diagnose debug authd fsso refresh-logons diagnose debug authd fsso clear-logons diagnose debug authd fsso refresh-groups get user adgrp
