| Description | This article describes an issue when Wi-Fi connections to an SSID get denied with 'action=client-denial" and reason="STA denied on WTP due to VAP ACL' in the WiFi Events logs. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution |
This issue happens when the 'Address group policy' is enabled and set to 'Allow' under the SSID -> Client MAC Address Filtering and the Wi-Fi client's MAC address is not included in the 'Address group'.
The same issue happens if the Wi-Fi client's MAC address is included in the 'Address group' but the 'Address group policy' is set to deny. Ensure the client's MAC addresses are included in the address group and the action is set to allow.
