About this Release

About this Release

This release delivers key new features. For more information, see What's New.

Notes:

  • Multi Pre Shared Key (MPSK): When an MPSK device is created, it gets its own Device Account Group (mapped under Guest Portal Access Plan). When the device actually connects, the authorization policy/profile decision is not based on the Device Account Group. Instead, it uses the User Account Group (to which the MPSK is mapped or bound).

  • Change the interface IPs to static mode and configure static routes for interfaces before upgrading. This is because DHCP IP configuration is not supported in this release. To configure static IP addresses and routes, see the FortiGuest Administration Guide.

  • CLI/GUI passwords:

    • After an upgrade, the CLI password remains the same until a user logs in using the GUI. Once the first successful GUI login occurs, the CLI password is automatically synchronized and set to match the GUI password.

    • On the first bootup of a new instance, a user must first log in using the CLI and change the default password. Once the CLI password is updated, it will also be used for logging into the GUI.

  • Starting with FortiGuest version 1.3.0, support for time zones is limited to 132, down from 416 in previous releases. When upgrading from a version older than 1.3.0, any unsupported time zone setting will be automatically reset to UTC.

  • Only one of the four port interfaces can support DHCP configuration at a time.
