Fortigate managed by FortiManager Cloud - TACACS

[gcarvalho]

Hello,

We have some Fortigates managed by FortiManager Cloud. I'd like to know if I can configure TACACS on those Fortigates and if it require any special configuration.

Does the FMG Cloud use the admin local login to connect to the Fortigate? We are concerned to lose the management on FMG Cloud after configure TACACS authentication on FGTs.

Ideally you can specify the admin account name and password under device settings on Fortimanager . If you specify the local-admin of fortigate, I believe the connection should work fine even if there is TACACS auth enabled on Fortigate.
