Good morning!
I have problems with connecting 2fa vpn. I have IPSEC tunnel vpn. If I connect vpn with 2fa it dies immediately and does not even allow me to enter a password. But if I turn off 2fa, everything works fine.
I used this
config user local
edit "epass"
set type password
set two-factor email
set email-to "manny@infosecmonkey.org"
set passwd SuperSecretPassword
next
endmail server is
config system email-server
set server "notification.fortinet.net"
set port 465
set security smtps
endand thats all
Hello @ikhtiyor
Have you checked this technical document ?

hello @Sheikh
Yes I read that
My VPN works if I off 2FA email
I'm running into almost this exact issue as well. Non-2FA accounts work fine, but the 2FA enabled ones ask for the password and then show as "connecting" for a long time on the client, never actually connecting.
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
edit "IPsecVPN-Home"
set type dynamic
set interface "wan"
set ike-version 2
set peertype any
set net-device disable
set mode-cfg enable
set ipv4-dns-server1 10.0.0.11
set proposal aes256-sha256
set comments "VPN: IPsecVPN-Home -- Created by VPN wizard"
set eap enable
set eap-identity send-request
set wizard-type dialup-forticlient
set authusrgrp "Firewall VPN Users"
set transport udp
set ipv4-start-ip 10.0.16.1
set ipv4-end-ip 10.0.16.10
set save-password enable
set client-auto-negotiate enable
set client-keep-alive enable
set psksecret ENC BLAH
next
endconfig vpn ipsec phase2-interface
edit "IPsecVPN-Home"
set phase1name "IPsecVPN-Home"
set proposal aes256-sha256
set comments "VPN: IPsecVPN-Home -- Created by VPN wizard"
next
end
