Description This article explains the changes in the CLI parameters for PKI user settings starting from v7.4.1 used for validation against the LDAP server.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

Up to v7.4.0:

 

config user peer
    set ldap-mode [password|principal-name]
    set ldap-password 
    set ldap-server 
    set ldap-username 

The above has been replaced with the ones shown below.

 

From v7.4.1 and above:

 

config user peer
    set mfa-mode [none|password|subject-identity]
    set mfa-password
    set mfa-server 
    set mfa-username 

 

Another key setting for the PKI user is also changed under the LDAP configuration,

 

Up to v7.4.0:

 

config user ldap
    set account-key-upn-san [othername|rfc822name|dnsname]

 

From v7.4.1 and above:

 

config user ldap
    set account-key-cert-field [othername|rfc822name|dnsname]

 

Note:

When there is an upgrade performed from any versions below v7.4.0 and v7.4.0 to v7.4.1 and above will cause the removal of these entries, and as a result, the authentication will not succeed.

 

Run the command below after an upgrade or downgrade to review the changes in the command line:

 

diagnose debug config-error-log read
