Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot error -7650 (in the CLI) or an Internal server error (in the GUI) seen when activating a new FortiToken Mobile. |
Scope | FortiGate 6.x. to 7.6.x. |
Solution |
When importing the license from the GUI, the error 'Internal server error' may appear.
diagnose debug console timestamp enable
In virtual VDOM mode, FortiGate firewalls must run the debug commands within the VDOM where FortiTokens are being activated:
config vdom edit <vdom-name> <----- Name of the VDOM. diagnose debug console timestamp enable
The output may resemble the following:
2022-05-17 13:41:54 ftm_cfg_import_license[321]:import license abcd-efgh-1234-5678-9101 2022-05-17 13:41:55 ftm_fc_comm_send_request[117]:send packet success. POST /SoftToken/Provisioning.asmx/Process HTTP/1.1 { "d": { "__type": "SoftToken.ActivationLicenseRequest", "__version": "4", "license_activation_code": "abcd-efgh-1234-5678-9101", "serial_number": "FGT60XTK00000000", "__device_version": "7.0", "__device_build": "0304", "__clustered_sns": [ ] } } 2022-05-17 13:42:01 ftm_fc_comm_recv_response[266]:receive packet success. {"d":{"__type":"SoftToken.ActivationLicenseResponse","__version":"4", "serial_number":"FGT60XTK00000000","__device_version":"7.0","__device_build":"0304","__clustered_sns":[],"license_activation_code":"abcd-efgh-1234-5678-9101","license":"","tokens":null,"result":0,"error":{"error_code":100,"error_message":"forticare service unavailable"}}} 2022-05-17 13:42:01 ftm_fc_command[615]:received error from forticare [-7650]
'FortiCare service unavailable' suggests that the firewall could not reach the FortiGuard network or that the FortiGuard network was temporarily unavailable.
To stop debug logs:
diagnose debug disable diagnose debug reset
diagnose sniffer packet any "host 208.91.113.53 and port 443" 4 0 a ctrl+c to stop the sniffer
If the above troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, try running the following commands in the CLI:
diagnose debug reset
Once the output shows 'Update successful', navigate to User & Authentication -> FortiTokens and verify whether the newly registered FortiTokens are now visible in the list.
The IP address 208.91.113.53 is an example resolved when using telnet for the FQDN 'globalftm.fortinet.net'. Adjust the IP based on the FQDN.
