SSL VPN Settings Client Certificate

Hello,

 

i want to use LDAP + Client Certificate for my SSL VPN.

We use like 20 SSL VPN Portals.

 

Do I understand correctly that I can either use certificate authentication for everyone or none. I only want to use it for certain portals ?

Thanks

This is possible. You have the option to apply it to the Group - Portal mapping.

That was very helpful, thank you.

However, I have a small problem.
If I remove the user peer, pretty much any certificate that Fortigate can cross-check is allowed.

Now I only want to allow certificates from a specific CA.

 

edit 13
set groups "vpn_user_systems_admin-2fa"
set portal "bbw-systems_admin-2fa"
set client-cert enable
set user-peer "CA_Cert_3"
next
end

 

While using the user-peer, i cant connect anymore.

config user peer
edit "CA_Cert_3"
set ca "CA_Cert_3"
next
end

 

I am sure i am missing something.

Additional question can i set a wildcard "set cn .company.de" like that ?


*Certificate selection looks fine inside of my forticlient

 

 

Thanks
