Configuring the FortiGate authentication settings

To configure the FortiGate authentication settings:
  1. On the FortiGate, go to User & Device > RADIUS Servers and create the connection to the FortiAuthenticator RADIUS server, using its IP address and pre-shared secret.
  2. Use Test Connectivity to make sure that the FortiGate can communicate with the FortiAuthenticator.

  3. Next, go to User & Device > User Groups and create a RADIUS user group called RADIUSgroup.
  4. Set the Type to Firewall and add the RADIUS server to the Remote groups table.
