Post-login device tracking

When the post-login service option Device Tracking and Management is enabled, the administrator must specify into which device group to put the self-registered devices, as well as specify the Maximum number of devices per user (up to 20; 3 by default). When enabled, users have access to a post-login interface where they can add/edit/delete their list of devices. If enabled but the device is not registered, the FortiAuthenticator presents a device registration page after account credential validation.

If the user reaches their device limit, they must select an existing device to replace. If the MAC address is currently associated with a different user, it is re-assigned to this newly logged-in user with the following warning message:

"Your device had previously been registered by another user. Ownership has now been changed to your account."
