FortiCloud SSO admin authentication

When FortiAnalyzer is registered to FortiCloud, you can enable login to FortiAnalyzer using your FortiCloud SSO account.

By default, only the FortiCloud account ID which the FortiAnalyzer is registered to can be used to log into FortiAnalyzer. Additional SSO users can be configured as IAM users in FortiCloud. See IAM user account login.

To enable login with FortiCloud:

1. Before enabling this feature, FortiAnalyzer must be registered to FortiCloud, and a FortiCloud account must be configured.
   You can check your FortiCloud registration status in System Settings > Dashboard in the License Information widget.
2. Go to System Settings > SAML SSO, and enable Allow admins to login with FortiCloud.
   
   
3. Sign out of FortiAnalyzer to return to the sign in screen.
   An option to Login with FortiCloud is now visible on the FortiAnalyzer login page.
   
   
4. Click Login with FortiCloud. Enter your login credentials from FortiCloud and click LOGIN.
   
   You are signed in with your FortiCloud user account.
