I bet you use FortiAnalyzer. Check the login credentials you have configured on both sides, on the FAZ and the FG.

Wayne1, my login credentials FG201E is the same as FAZ200F.

Hey there,

 

i think he means : go to you Analyzer-> Device Management -> Edit your Device and edit Admin User and Password.

Do you have a cluster?  The  FGT in a cluster uses  127.0.0.1 and telnet now that I think about it. Never seen http and the localhost in a admin auth messages.

 

Also add, make sure you  do not have a fortiexplorer hooked up to the  Fortigate, it also uses  127.0.0.1 and telnet. I bet this is your case and something is triggering because of this.

This can also happen if you are managing the FGT from a FortiManager. The above solution will fix this issue.
