Fortiems unverified users

Hi,

I have deployed a forticlient to a few hundred computers and recently noticed that all users are unverified, so how can I set all of these users to verified or skip user verification.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi AMINET,

 

All existing users will be "unverified".

They are already skipping verification (anyone can join to EMS with a valid invitation code)

For them to be verified, they have to rejoin to EMS using an invitation code with "verification enabled":

1. Create an Invitation code with Verification type:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.0.7/ems-administration-guide/2758/invitations

2. Disconnect the endpoint and let it rejoin back by entering the new Invitation Code

3. They will be asked to login (via Local/LDAP/SAML) after entering new Invitation Code
4. If they rejoin to EMS after providing verification credential, they will become "verified user"

Regards,
Bon

I have a related question - is it possible to prevent unverified users from acquiring an EMS license?

Hello,


Yes it is possible.
You can enable 'Enforce User Verification' along with the setup above.
Refer: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.0.11/ems-administration-guide/319002/configuring-em...

Enforce user verification for endpoints. Users must log in to verified user accounts to register to EMS.
