Getting started—FAC-FIC users

Note
  • Tasks such as creating FAC users and enabling them for FIC service can and must be performed on the FAC GUI only; no FAC Console commands are available for such operations.
  • FIC supports token activation via SMS and synchronization of mobile numbers for end-users with FortiAuthenticator as the application. For FortiAuthenticator and FIC compatibility, refer to Compatible Fortinet applications.

  • FIC supports OTP via email or SMS as an MFA method for end users with FAC as an application, as long as the realm associated with the FAC (or end-user) MFA method is provisioned properly.

If you use FAC as an authentication client of FIC, you can complete the following steps to get started with FIC:

  1. Registering your FIC subscription.
  2. Upgrading FortiAuthenticator OS.
  3. Logging into the FortiIdentity Cloud portal.
  4. Activating FAC for FIC service.
  5. Adding an admin user for FIC service.
  6. Adding a local user for FIC service.
  7. Enabling FIC service for remote users
