FTM deprovision

We are receiving following error message from few weeks,

 

"ftm deprovision: disabled local user because ftm activation expired. admin must be cautious to re-enable this user because it will be allowed access without token"

 

What can be the reason for this. These users are already activated their soft tokens and worked without any issues. Suddenly they faced this FTM deprovisioning issue.

 

Model: FortiAuthenticator VM

Hi,

If I recall correctly that is because the user has failed to activate the FTK in the allocated time, which is configurable.

Hi,

These users are not new; they have already activated their tokens and worked well without any issues for a long time. Suddenly, they have faced this issue.

 

As per my understanding, we don't need to worry about the initially allocated time after activation. Once activated it will work. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

You are correct, this should not affect existing users and already activated tokens.

It might be a case were you should engage TAC in order to figure out where the issue might be, because if this happened to existing users it might indicate a issue.

Thanks for your reply.

 

We are in the middle of contract renewal process. Any other suggestions to overcome this issue until then?

Our organization is facing the same issue since last few days. With over 1000 users total, we have random accounts being deprovisioned.

 

Which fortiAC version are you using?
