| Solution | - Check the connectivity to the RADIUS server was successful.
- Run the following debug commands and, afterwards, try to test the credentials from the FortiGate GUI:
Debug commands:
diagnose debug reset diagnose debug console timestamp enable
diagnose debug app fnbamd -1
diagnose debug enable A packet capture will give additional information on what exact detail was sent, and the Access-Reject may contain a reason for the rejection. The example later will show it. The following error will be seen:

- The reason for the negative response is to be searched on the node that gives the response. In this example, the server is a Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS), which serves as a RADIUS server.
Connect to the NPS, and navigate to Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Security Logs. - Filter the logs with event ID [6273] to see the Audit Failure:
- Here, it was denied because of a Network Access Permission error. This is because only a certain group is allowed, of which the user should be a part. In this example, the user group 'fgt-admin' has been granted permissions, but the user 'pki1' is not part of that group:
Below is the PCAP stating that access has been rejected from the RADIUS Server:
Access-Request Packet:
Access-Reject Packet:
- Once the user has been added to that group, test credentials will be successful:
