Configuring sandboxing The Security Fabric supports the following types of FortiSandbox deployments: Type Description Requirements Next steps FortiGate Cloud Sandbox (FortiSandbox SaaS) Files are sent to Fortinet’s Cloud Sandbox cluster for post‑processing. The FortiGate must be subscribed to the Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) license, which includes the AV license. Activate and configure your FortiGate Cloud Sandbox. Use post-transfer scan with Antivirus. FortiGuard Inline Malware Prevention System Files are sent to Fortinet’s Cloud Sandbox cluster for real-time processing. The FortiGate must either be subscribed to the Enterprise Protection bundle or have an a la carte Inline Malware Prevention license. Verify your license. Configure your FortiGate. Use Inline Scan with Antivirus. Verify Sandbox detection. FortiSandbox Cloud (FortiSandbox PaaS) Files are sent to a dedicated FortiCloud hosted instance of FortiSandbox for processing. FortiCloud premium license. FortiSandbox Cloud entitlement. The FortiGate and FortiCloud licenses are registered to the same account. Provision your dedicated instance. Configure your FortiGate for post-transfer scan or inline scan. Verify Sandbox detection. FortiSandbox Appliance Files are sent to a physical or VM appliance, typically residing on premise, for processing. None Configure your FortiSandbox. Configure your FortiGate for post-transfer scan or inline scan. Verify Sandbox detection. To apply sandboxing in a Security Fabric, connect one of the FortiSandbox deployments, then configure an antivirus profile to submit files for dynamic analysis. The submission results supplement the AV signatures on the FortiGate. FortiSandbox inspection can also be used in web filter profiles. In a Security Fabric environment, sandbox settings are configured on the Deliver the required connectivity and throughput, combined with physical specifications that conform to building and property logistics, businesses also require varying management and security options.Fortinet offers three solutions for the performance and security of wireless networks. All Fortinet current-model access points can be managed by at least two of the solution approaches described below, and FortiAP Universal Access Point devices can be managed by all three. In addition, all three solutions provide superior wireless access performance.1. FortiGate Integrated Wireless Management. With the FortiGate integrated wireless management solution, businesses can leverage FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) already deployed to protect their networks. These NGFWs can also serve as wireless controllers for managing access points. Businesses with one small/medium location, or those with numerous small/medium locations such as a chain of retail stores or restaurants, or businesses with remote sales and service offices, often prefer this approach. In these scenarios, the network security team can manage access points through their FortiGate NGFW without needing to buy any extra licenses to manage the system. Network staff don't need to learn a new interface since they are already managing the FortiGate NGFW.2. Dedicated WLAN Controller Wireless Management. Fortinet’s dedicated controller wireless management solution utilizes standalone controller-based wireless management, which is ideal for sites with hundreds to thousands of access points, such as large hospitals and college campuses. With networks of this size, it generally makes sense to segment firewall management from wireless management. This approach may involve the use of a series of FortiGate NGFWsFortigate/LICENSE at master - GitHub
Adding FortiClient licenses to a clusterEach FortiGate unit in a cluster must have its own FortiClient license. Contact your reseller to purchase FortiClient licenses for all of the FortiGate units in your cluster.When you receive the license keys you can log into the Fortinet Support site and add the FortiClient license keys to each FortiGate unit. Then, as long as the cluster can connect to the Internet each cluster unit receives its FortiClient license key from the FortiGuard network.Adding FortiClient licenses to cluster units with a reserved management interfaceYou can also use the following steps to manually add license keys to your cluster units from the web-based manager or CLI. Your cluster must be connected to the Internet and you must have configured a reserved management interface for each cluster unit.1. Log into the -web-based manager of each cluster unit using its reserved management interface IP address.2. Go to the License Information dashboard widget and beside FortiClient select Enter License.3. Enter the license key and select OK.4. Confirm that the license has been installed and the correct number of FortiClients are licensed.5. Repeat for all of the cluster units.You can also use the reserved management IP address to log into each cluster unit CLI and use following command to add the license key:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license You can connect to the CLIs of each cluster unit using their reserved management IP address.Adding FortiClient licenses to cluster units with no reserved management interfaceIf you have not set up reserved management IP addresses for your cluster units, you can still add FortiClient license keys to each cluster unit. You must log into the primary unit and then use the execute ha manage command to connect to each cluster unit CLI. For example, use the following steps to add a FortiClient license key a cluster of three FortiGate units:1. Log into the primary unit CLI and enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the primary unit:get system status2. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the primary unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license You can also use the web-based manager to add the license key to the primary unit.3. Enter the following command to log into the first subordinate unit:execute ha manage 14. Enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the cluster unit that you have logged into:get system status5. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the cluster unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license 6. Enter the following command to log into the second subordinate unit:execute ha manage 27. Enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the cluster unit that you have logged into:get system status8. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the cluster unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license Viewing FortiClient license status and active FortiClient users for each cluster unitTo view FortiClient license status and FortiClient information for each cluster unit you must log into each cluster unit’s web-based manager or CLI. You can do this by connecting to each cluster. FortiGate-VM license file. FortiGate-VM license file. The contents of the FGT-VM license file go into the 0000 file.

By Manny Fernandez February 20, 2019 Fortitoken with Active Directory on Fortigate Yesterday I wrote a blogpost about two-factor authentication using Duo, Active Directory, Duo Proxy Auth and Fortigate. I mentioned that FortiToken was easier to deploy and decided I would write a blog post using FortiToken, Active Directory and Fortigate.Fortigates have a built-in two-factor authentication server and you only need to purchase FortiTokens. FortiTokens come in two-factors (no pun intended); hardware and electronic. The electronic tokens are perpetual so you buy them once and you can reuse them as needed.What you are going to need:1. Fortigate Firewall2. FortiToken Licenses (hardware or software)3. Active DirectoryNOTE: You do not require AD as you can create local users and assign them a token.Lets get started.Login into your Fortigate firewall and go to ‘Users & Devices’ then ‘FortiToken‘For hardware tokens, you can either import it from a text file or seed file.Electronic Tokens are easier. Enter the ‘Activation Code‘ provided by Fortinet via an email and hit ‘OK‘Once you have the tokens listed, we will add an LDAP server to the configuration. Under the same Sub heading of ‘Users & Devices’ then ‘LDAP Servers’.Ensure the ‘Connection Status’ shows up with the green checkmark and says ‘Successful’.Now we will create a Security Group in Activie DirectoryWe will also create a test userNext, make sure you add the new user to the ‘Security Group’ named ‘FortiToken-GRP’.Once this is completed you can move back to the Fortigate. Go back to ‘Users & Devices’ and create a ‘User Groups’.Give the group a name and choose ‘Remote Groups’. Choose the Domain Controler you created earlier, and select the ‘FortiToken-GRP’ group.Now we are going to create a ‘Remote User’ (e.g. John Doe).Go to ‘Users & Devices’ and select ‘User Definition’ and choose ‘Remote LDAP User’. Choose the DC you created and browse for the ‘John Doe’ user.Once the user is created, you will select it and choose ‘Edit’.Once you edit the user, click the ‘Two-Factor Authentication’ button. From the drop-down list, choose an available FortiToken and save. You can re-send the activation from this window.NOTE: You must have an email address in the appropriate field.The user needs to go to their AppStore (Apple) or Market Place (Android) to download the FortiToken app.IOS AppStoreGoogle Play StoreThe user will recieve and email with the QR code. The one below has been modified to disable it in the graphic.As in the other blog post, you will need to make sure the User Group is permitted to use the VPN’s particular portal.And finally, ensure the Policy is configured correctlyNote: Another Option would be to deploy a FortiAuthenticator. The FortiAuthenticator give you more flexability becuase it gives you the ability to use other authentication methods such as OAuth and SAML. Additionally it allows you to do ‘push notification’ where you will receive a a pop-up on you device.Hope this helps. DescriptionThis article describes how to troubleshoot when the active licenses are showing expired on the GUI of Virtual Machines configured in the HA Cluster.ScopeFortiGate.SolutionThe licenses on the GUI of the Virtual Machine are not updated and the Update Debug will have the following entry, installUpdObjRest[797]-Failed to copy new obj file /tmp/updQx40o6 to /etc/fssi.dat, errno=30, Read-only file systeminstallUpdObjRest[802]-Failed to restore /etc/fssi.datinstallUpdObjRest[898]-Step 10:Tell parent to respawnupd_install_pkg[1434]-Failed to install FSCI000 result=(-10,0)upd_install_pkg[1434]-Failed to install FSSI000 result=(-10,0)upd_status_save_status[146]-try to save on status fileupd_status_save_status[159]-Failed opening /etc/upd.dat Generally, this entry 'Failed opening /etc/upd.dat' will be seen due to a lack of disk space on the device. However, disk space will not be an issue for VMs.After carefully checking and understanding that the issue is not related to FortiGate reachability to FortiGuard Servers, first, perform the Failover to the Secondary VM. If that does not work, then rebooting the VM will fix this issue. 2. In another scenario, the licenses will not get updated and the following messages can be seen in the Update debug log outputs,upd_status_set_ha_expiry[1526]-Missing contracts, got 1, expect 2upd_status_set_ha_expiry[1544]-Reset expirydo_update[678]-UPDATE failedThis generally occurs when the devices are registered under different accounts. Check the registration details of the devices in the HA Cluster.If they are in different accounts, get them under one Master account with the help of the Customer Service Team.

2025-04-05Deliver the required connectivity and throughput, combined with physical specifications that conform to building and property logistics, businesses also require varying management and security options.Fortinet offers three solutions for the performance and security of wireless networks. All Fortinet current-model access points can be managed by at least two of the solution approaches described below, and FortiAP Universal Access Point devices can be managed by all three. In addition, all three solutions provide superior wireless access performance.1. FortiGate Integrated Wireless Management. With the FortiGate integrated wireless management solution, businesses can leverage FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) already deployed to protect their networks. These NGFWs can also serve as wireless controllers for managing access points. Businesses with one small/medium location, or those with numerous small/medium locations such as a chain of retail stores or restaurants, or businesses with remote sales and service offices, often prefer this approach. In these scenarios, the network security team can manage access points through their FortiGate NGFW without needing to buy any extra licenses to manage the system. Network staff don't need to learn a new interface since they are already managing the FortiGate NGFW.2. Dedicated WLAN Controller Wireless Management. Fortinet’s dedicated controller wireless management solution utilizes standalone controller-based wireless management, which is ideal for sites with hundreds to thousands of access points, such as large hospitals and college campuses. With networks of this size, it generally makes sense to segment firewall management from wireless management. This approach may involve the use of a series of FortiGate NGFWs

Contact your reseller to purchase FortiClient licenses for all of the FortiGate units in your cluster.When you receive the license keys you can log into the Fortinet Support site and add the FortiClient license keys to each FortiGate unit. Then, as long as the cluster can connect to the Internet each cluster unit receives its FortiClient license key from the FortiGuard network.Adding FortiClient licenses to cluster units with a reserved management interfaceYou can also use the following steps to manually add license keys to your cluster units from the web-based manager or CLI. Your cluster must be connected to the Internet and you must have configured a reserved management interface for each cluster unit.1. Log into the -web-based manager of each cluster unit using its reserved management interface IP address.2. Go to the License Information dashboard widget and beside FortiClient select Enter License.3. Enter the license key and select OK.4. Confirm that the license has been installed and the correct number of FortiClients are licensed.5. Repeat for all of the cluster units.You can also use the reserved management IP address to log into each cluster unit CLI and use following command to add the license key:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license You can connect to the CLIs of each cluster unit using their reserved management IP address.Adding FortiClient licenses to cluster units with no reserved management interfaceIf you have not set up reserved management IP addresses for your cluster units, you can still add FortiClient license keys to each cluster unit. You must log into the primary unit and then use the execute ha manage command to connect to each cluster unit CLI. For example, use the following steps to add a FortiClient license key a cluster of three FortiGate units:1. Log into the primary unit CLI and enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the primary unit:get system status2. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the primary unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license You can also use the web-based manager to add the license key to the primary unit.3. Enter the following command to log into the first subordinate unit:execute ha manage 14. Enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the cluster unit that you have logged into:get system status5. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the cluster unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license 6. Enter the following command to log into the second subordinate unit:execute ha manage 27. Enter the following command to confirm the serial number of the cluster unit that you have logged into:get system status8. Add the FortiClient license key for that serial number to the cluster unit:execute FortiClient-NAC update-registration-license Viewing FortiClient license status and active FortiClient users for each cluster unitTo view FortiClient license status and FortiClient information for each cluster unit you must log into each cluster unit’s web-based manager or CLI. You can do this by connecting to each cluster
2025-03-25By Manny Fernandez February 20, 2019 Fortitoken with Active Directory on Fortigate Yesterday I wrote a blogpost about two-factor authentication using Duo, Active Directory, Duo Proxy Auth and Fortigate. I mentioned that FortiToken was easier to deploy and decided I would write a blog post using FortiToken, Active Directory and Fortigate.Fortigates have a built-in two-factor authentication server and you only need to purchase FortiTokens. FortiTokens come in two-factors (no pun intended); hardware and electronic. The electronic tokens are perpetual so you buy them once and you can reuse them as needed.What you are going to need:1. Fortigate Firewall2. FortiToken Licenses (hardware or software)3. Active DirectoryNOTE: You do not require AD as you can create local users and assign them a token.Lets get started.Login into your Fortigate firewall and go to ‘Users & Devices’ then ‘FortiToken‘For hardware tokens, you can either import it from a text file or seed file.Electronic Tokens are easier. Enter the ‘Activation Code‘ provided by Fortinet via an email and hit ‘OK‘Once you have the tokens listed, we will add an LDAP server to the configuration. Under the same Sub heading of ‘Users & Devices’ then ‘LDAP Servers’.Ensure the ‘Connection Status’ shows up with the green checkmark and says ‘Successful’.Now we will create a Security Group in Activie DirectoryWe will also create a test userNext, make sure you add the new user to the ‘Security Group’ named ‘FortiToken-GRP’.Once this is completed you can move back to the Fortigate. Go back to ‘Users & Devices’ and create a ‘User Groups’.Give the group a name and choose ‘Remote Groups’. Choose the Domain Controler you created earlier, and select the ‘FortiToken-GRP’ group.Now we are going to create a ‘Remote User’ (e.g. John Doe).Go to ‘Users & Devices’ and select ‘User Definition’ and choose ‘Remote LDAP User’. Choose the DC you created and browse for the ‘John Doe’ user.Once the user is created, you will select it and choose ‘Edit’.Once you edit the user, click the ‘Two-Factor Authentication’ button. From the drop-down list, choose an available FortiToken and save. You can re-send the activation from this window.NOTE: You must have an email address in the appropriate field.The user needs to go to their AppStore (Apple) or Market Place (Android) to download the FortiToken app.IOS AppStoreGoogle Play StoreThe user will recieve and email with the QR code. The one below has been modified to disable it in the graphic.As in the other blog post, you will need to make sure the User Group is permitted to use the VPN’s particular portal.And finally, ensure the Policy is configured correctlyNote: Another Option would be to deploy a FortiAuthenticator. The FortiAuthenticator give you more flexability becuase it gives you the ability to use other authentication methods such as OAuth and SAML. Additionally it allows you to do ‘push notification’ where you will receive a a pop-up on you device.Hope this helps.
