FortiClient EMS per user policy

Hello

 

We are using FortiClient EMS to manged + 7.000 FortiClient, only using the VPN function.

The EMS server uses our Microsoft Active Directory to pull in devices and their location in the AD.

Currently we are assigning policies to devices based on the device location in AD (OUs).

 

However I'de like to be able to assign policies to users / user-groups.

I've greated a new AD security group, and added my user as member.

I'm able to view the AD security group in FortiClient EMS, and I can assign my policy to it.

However I can't view my user as member of the group in EMS, and also my FortiClient still has the old policy assigned from it's current location.

I've made sure the policy has the highest priority under 'managed policies'.

 

Anyone been trying this out with success?

Kind regards
Kind regards

Hi JonasV,


May I know your EMS version?

'However I can't view my user as member of the group in EMS'
-> Do you mean that when hover over the username in Endpoint pane, you see nothing just like the sample below:

In normal scenario, it should show user's group membership if EMS can read it correctly:

If your scenario matches the first screenshot, kindly raise a TAC ticket to us for investigation.

Hi Bon

Thank you and sorry for my late reply. I did raise a TAC tricket and we identified issues with our SQL DB.

I am deploying a fresh EMS server and SQL DB, and will migrate licens and users to the new server as a solution. 

Kind regards
