No "wpa3-sae+captive-portal"?

[Toshi_Esumi]

Not sure if this is because WPA3 SAE's spec is not allowing or making this combination useless/meaningless. But with our 6.4.10 wireless-controller on a FGT, I don't seem to have an option for wpa3-sae+captive-portal in the VAP's security setting, while it's available with wpa2-personal.
Can someone explain why it's not there?

Thanks,

Toshi

Hello Toshi_Esumi!

Kindest regards,

This just explain what you can configure. It doesn't say why "wpa3-sae+captive-portal" can NOT be configured.

Per FGT v7.2.x docs - The following WPA3 security modes are supported by FortiGate devices running FortiOS 6.2.0 and later, and FortiAP-S and FortiAP-W2 device running 6.2.0 and later:

• WPA3-Enterprise
• WPA3-Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
• WPA3-SAE Transition
• Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE)
• OWE Transition

Please log a FortiAP ticket with the Support to check if WPA3+captive-portal feature is supported or should this be a new Feature Request.

Do you know why WPA3-SAE with captive portal was not included?

My main concern is currently the way to redirect user to a specific landing page with WPA2 is to set WPA2-personal + captive portal, which we can't do with WPA3-SAE w/o captive portal. Is there a way around?

FYI: In OS 7.4.4+, they now support captive portal with WPA2-P, WPA3-SAE, Open and OWE.
