FortiAuthenticator LDAP groups used on Fortigate

I have recently set up some SSL VPN Portals on a Fortigate, that are mapped to specific groups, the Fortigate is a Radius client from the FAC, The FAC uses LDAP to look up the user in AD, then looks at RSA for a token to authenticate the users.

 

All of the above is working abolutely fine, except for groups being passed to the Firewall to be used in the Portal mappings and Policies. I have to create a user on the Gate as a remote radius user, using the same name exactly that the FAC uses. this works... but some of the portals have 30-40 users. I had to create 30-40 individial users with the same name as the FAC.

 

Groups dont work in the same way, The documentation say you just create a Firewall Group with the same name on the Firewall, and make sure the FAC is sending the group-name attribute, which in my case it is., but it doesnt work, I have to switch back to using username. is this a bug?

Hello @The_Nude_Deer ,

 

Group name is not important. The important thing is radius attributes and the Fortigate group name filter. The Radius Attribute and Fortigate group filter should be the same. Your configuration is like this right?
