Issue when adding FortiGate to FortiManager

Hi, 

I am looking for help.

I am trying to add FortiGate 7.6.4 KVM to FortiManager 7.6.4 KVM, but it doesn't work.

 

From FMG, I am getting the "Probe failed" error message for both OAuth Login (after successful login) and Legacy Login.

 

From FG, I am getting the following errors:

  • From GUI

  • From CLI

Connectivity test is OK:

  • FG can ping FMG and vice versa
  • FMG-Access is enabled on the FG interface connected to FMG
  • Telnet to FMG IP 541 from FG is successful

 

Other information:

  • fgfm-allow-vm is enabled on FMG
  • FAZ 7.6.4 KVM is successfully added to FMG
  • execute central-mgmt register-device on FG does nothing
  • I am not using a custom certificate

I don’t think it’s possible to add Fortigate trial version in FMG and FAZ. I came to the conclusion that :

-In the certificate that a FortiGate running in evaluation mode sends to FortiManager to establish the tunnel, the serial number is missing from the common name field. As a result, FortiManager refuses to establish the connection because the certificate does not meet the validation requirements.

-No amount of configuration or troubleshooting will make the connection succeed. The issue is directly related to the certificate structure, therefore the tunnel cannot be formed in this mode.

@Irah  Since this is VM as FMG by default not allowed the VM connection, can you try to allow the VM connection from FMG site ?

 

On your FMG open CLI and try below command 

=======================

config sys global

set fgfm-allow-vm enable

end

=====================

Now try to authorised again see whether you can 

Irah

fgfm-allow-vm is already enabled

@Irah  I can see your FMG has below setting 

set enc-algorithm high 
Can you change to high on FG site as well ?

 

config system central-management
set enc-algorithm high 
end

 

Also FortiGate certificate has CN=Fortigate, which it should be serial number 

Which something looks like below

Which cloud platform is the FortiGate hosted as VM ?
