| Description | This article describes how to use a FortiToken with the native Windows VPN client. |
| Scope | FortiOS. |
| Solution |
It is possible to use a FortiToken with L2TP by appending the token onto the password. Here a local user is configured with a FortiToken, they are inside of a group specified in the L2TP config.
When trying to sign in with no token, it is possible to see the tunnel does not come up.
When the token is appended to the password, the connection is successful.
The FNBAMD debug taken while authenticating also confirms this. A non-zero return code indicates a failure. The red attempt is done with no token, and the green attempt is done with the token.
This same behavior can be replicated too in native IPsec Dial-up VPN to iOS devices running the 18.2 version. |
