Description
This article describes the first steps to take in case of FortiToken activation failure.
If the configuration has been migrated from another unit, the tokens will not work unless they are completely removed first, and then re-imported.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
Step 1: General view:
exec ping fds1.fortinet.com
exec ping directregistration.fortinet.com
show system central-management
The above servers must be reachable from FortiGate CLI.
When a FortiManager manages the system, skip the next steps as the tokens should be provided by FortiManager itself.
Step 2: Current status check:
diag fortitoken info
diag test application forticldd 7
show user fortitoken
Step 3: Run the following command:
show full | grep -f FTK
- If the token has the 'set seed...' displayed in 'show user', but it shows an error in 'fortitoken info', delete this FortiToken first.
- If the token is displayed without the "set seed...", line can be activated as in step 5b.
Step 4: Turn on activation debugging:
diag debug reset
diag debug console time en
diag debug app forticldd 255
diag fortitoken debug enable
diag debug enable
diag debug info
FortiToken 200 is activated through the FortiGuard network and is locked upon first activation (one-time activation lock). If the Tokens lock was released recently, there is only one chance to activate and catch an error if an issue occurs.
Step 5a: If the token was deleted as per step 3a., run only this command (and skip the activation):
config user fortitoken
edit <FortiTokenSN>
end
Step 5b: Otherwise, activate it:
exec fortitoken activate <FortiTokenSN>
diag fortitoken info | grep -v active
All tokens should be active and should have the seed in config:
diag fortitoken info
show user fortitoken
disable debug
diag debug reset
diag debug disable
To verify whether the FortiToken activation code is sending or not, collect the below command output:
sh system email-server
diag debug reset
diag debug appl alertmail -1
diag debug enable
After initiating the above commands, then select 'Send Activation Code' under User&Authentication -> User Definition -> Edit the user.
