SMS SMS two-factor authentication sends the token code in an SMS text message to the mobile device indicated when this user attempts to logon. This token code is valid for 60 seconds. If you enter this code after that time, it will not be accepted. Enter this code when prompted at logon to be authenticated. SMS two-factor authentication has the benefit that you do not require email service before logging on. A potential issue is if the mobile service provider does not send the SMS text message before the 60 second life of the token expires. Before configuring SMS, you must configure the email server for sending email from the FortiGate unit and one or more SMS providers in the CLI. To configure the SMTP email address for your FortiGate unit - web-based manager 1 Go to the email server under Log&Report->Log Config->Alert e-mail. 2 Enter the SMTP Server and Email from address. 3 If applicable, enable Authentication on the SMTP server and enter the SMTP username and password to use. 4 Select Apply. To configure an SMS provider - CLI config user sms-provider edit <provider_name> set mail-server <server_email> next end To configure SMS two-factor authentication - web-based manager 1 To modify an: • administrator account, go to System > Admin > Administrators, or • user account go to User > User. 2 Select an existing account or select Create New. 3 Select Enable Two-factor Authentication. 4 Select SMS. 5 Choose the SMS provider from the drop down list. 6 Enter the phone number of the mobile device that will receive the SMS text messages. If you have problems receiving the token codes via SMS messaging, contact your mobile provider to ensure you are using the correct phone number format to receive text messages and that your current mobile plan allows text messages.
