EAP-TLS request not reaching FAC

Client laptop has a cert issued by Microsoft AD (via Intune) the Trusted CA has been imported to the FAC 6.6.0 as per this video:

EAP-TLS Authentication with FortiAuthenticator | Identity and Access Management

The fortigate is set to use the FAC / WPA2 Enterprise as per the instructions, everything is configured as per the fortinet website, but nothing gets sent to the FAC (other traffic using SSL VPN is fine, so its not a connection issue)

 

Running debugs and logs on both the FAC and the Gate, the EAP-TLS request is not even reaching the FAC, 

 

Fortigate logs show:

2024-11-06 15:09:28 05768.944 70:32:17:11:01:7a <eh> IEEE 802.1X (EAPOL 14B) ==> 70:32:17:11:01:7a ws (0-10.16.152.100:5246) rId 0 wId 1 38:c0:ea:a0:d0:81 2024-11-06 15:09:28 05768.974 70:32:17:11:01:7a <eh> IEEE 802.1X (EAPOL 5B) <== 70:32:17:11:01:7a ws (0-10.16.152.100:5246) rId 0 wId 1 38:c0:ea:a0:d0:81 2024-11-06 15:09:28 05768.974 70:32:17:11:01:7a <eh> recv IEEE 802.1X ver=1 type=1 (EAPOL_START) data len=0

 

Which show a pattern link below

auth-req

auth-resp

reassoc-req

reassoc-resp

client-disconnected

 

This then repeats, client machine shows the same sort of log, I have configured and had it checked by TAC, and still cannot get this simple connection working, any help from here is appreciated,

1. ensure the EAP server certificate and Trusted CA are correctly configured on FAC

I have created a local EAP server certificate and its is signed by the Local CA on the FAC, and the client has that as a copy.

 

2. I cannot view any logs on the FAC, as there arent any generated, it simply does not get that far, I am really at a loss now and want to throw the thing out the window!  

 

I am about to do a TCP Dump on the AP to see whats happening maybe
