Hi everybody,
I've got a strange problem with an Authenticator and Fortigate.
We've configured an Authenticator as LDAP Server.
The Fortigate authenticates against the Authenticator.
When I create a new user this user is discovered by the LDAP connection, this works fine and I'm able to login with this user.
But when I creat a token (mobile app) for this user and try to logon, I get the message "Permission Denied".
Unassign the token and the user is able to login again.
I also tried to change the token to e-mail verification, after entering the credentials I immediately get premission denied.
2 seconds later I get an e-mail with the token but can't enter it.
So the Fortigate does authenticate agains te FAC and sees the user has a token setup but it's stuck on the permission denied.
This is a part of the log:
[344] start_next_dn_bind-Trying DN 1:uid=tim,cn=LOCATION,ou=EXAMPLE,dc=EXAMPLE,dc=EXAMPLE [1701] fnbamd_ldap_get_result-Going to USERBIND state [2832] auth_ldap_result-Continue pending for req 6xxxxxx
[328] start_next_dn_bind-No more DN left [1942] fnbamd_ldap_get_result-Auth denied
This is the report without the token:
without the token (same user in the exact same group, just simply token disabled).

What am I missing?
Kind regards,

Solved! Go to Solution.
It looks like the issue has been resolved..
It seems that a RADIUS config is mandatory next to LDAP to have users authenticate over 2FA.
This seems a bit strange to me, could someone elaborate on this?
Kind regards,
Tim
