Description

This article describes key information about FortiToken-300/310.

Scope

Understanding FortiToken-300/310 and their deployment context.

Solution

FortiToken-300/310 is a USB device that essentially serves as a portable personal certificate store, and is physically connected to the user's computer for client certificate-based identification/authentication.

The device can not be registered with the firewall or linked/attached to a specific user as the other token models.

 

Important Note:

Each FortiToken-300/310 owner is expected to have a unique non-exportable certificate to provide its identity. 

 

Download the necessary software and guidelines to prepare for customizing these tokens to secure the infrastructure. 

  1. Log in to the website at Fortinet Support Link
  2. Select FortiToken from the drop-down menu. Go to the download section -> /FortiToken/FortiToken300_310/Windows. The following files should be present:
  • The FortiToken_ManagerAdmin.exe.
  • The FortiToken-FTK300_310-Setup_x64.msi.
  1. Select FortiToken from the drop-down menu. Go to the Download section -> /FortiToken/ FortiToken300_310/Windows. The following files should be present:
  • FortiToken 300_310 TokenManager - Admin Version-1.2-Administrator Guide.pdf.
  • FortiToken 300_310 TokenManager-1.15-User Guide.pdf.

 

The PKI certificate can be attached to a policy as a second-layer of authentication.

 

client(FTK310_certificate)---------[FGT---PolicyX(userme+PKI_Cert)]----------------------[Secure_Segment]

 

Below is an example of the process of trust relationship configuration on FortiGate.

 

Applicable Scenario A: Technical Tip: PKI peer user creation for certificate authentication.

Applicable Scenario B: Technical Tip: Using Certificates to authenticate users in SSL VPN.

 

Once the token FortiToken300_310 is plugged into the PC, the FTK301_certificate (identity) is added to the 'Personal' that is used and verified by the PKI peer configured on FortiGate. This guarantees that upon reaching a secure resource, the appropriate policy is matched.
