Hello

Which LDAP version?

Did you try reconfigure the LDAP server on EMS to use LDAPS instead of LDAP?

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I can't tell you what version of LDAP we have, I don't have access to this server because it's managed by the system team, all I know is that it's a Windows Server 2016

Yes I tried with LDAPS and I have exactly the same error message

I don't know what Fortinet changed but it worked well on versions 6.4.9 and 7.0.13

Hi Culture

• Can you share a screenshot of the LDAP config on your EMS? (you can blur sensitive info)
• What you got when you click on "Test" button?
• Can you test by creating a new auth server?

Hi All  and Thank you for your answers

I have an AD samba 4.6.11, openLdap 2.4.44

I had opened a Fortinet support case who did not find a solution and they escalated it to their development team

and after two weeks I have the answer that the AD Samba is not supported supported

Only Microsoft ADDS and Entra ID (formerly Azure) is supported as LDAP servers

Thank you

Hi Culture

I confirm OpenLDAP is not supported. That's why I asked you the LDAP version.

it worked well on previous versions

it's a kind of forcing towards microsoft technologies, as always it's all about money

I will close this post and Thanks u all for your feedback
