Hello,

 

You probably mean IPsec VPN? There is this document on how to configure the Site-to-site VPN with digital certificate:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.0/administration-guide/344213/site-to-site-vpn-with...

 

Hope it helps.

 

Best regards,

Are you actually intending to create an SSL VPN site-to-site tunnel? Can you not use IPSec? It will be easier...

 

If you need SSL-VPN follow these docs: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/new-features/508779/fortigate-as-ssl-vpn-client

 

For Certificates you need a CA cert (can be your existing AD PKI or create a basic one using OpenSSL or something) and then sign some certs for the users and import those.

Hi,

 

If you created the certificate from FortiAuthneticator as server certificate then you will need to select that one. You will also need to upload CA certificate from FortiAuthneticator to both FortiGates then.  From the client side you will choose that FortiAuthenticator CA in PKI user in CA filed.

Hi

Thanks for your reply

When i upload the certificate to both devices ,I can see the certificate on PKI user but when i go to choose Server certificate on device i didn't find the certificate which created on Forti-Authenticator and only see 'Fortinet_Factory' or 'Fortinet_Factory_Backup' and this is the issue why i didn't see the certificate created on this tab,i only see the created certificate on PKI user tab

Appreciate your support
