Friends, I have a question. I have a FortiGate 7.4.9. I need to enable two-factor authentication for a new SSL VPN user. This user is from Active Directory. However, when I go to the Authentication Type settings, the "email-based two-factor authentication" option isn't displayed. This is strange because I have several existing Active Directory users with this option enabled. I've searched online and it seems I can only enable it for local users, but I can't find a way to enable it for Active Directory users.
Could you please help me?
Try from CLI.
config user local
edit user1
set two-factor email
email-to user1@domain.com
next
end
Hope it helps.
And once you enable it on CLI it will be visible on the GUI (for that user).
