Upgrading FortiAuthenticator firmware

The FortiAuthenticator image available on AWS Marketplace might not include the latest firmware available for FortiAuthenticator. Upgrade the firmware of your FortiAuthenticator-VM after deployment to ensure that you have the latest features, functionality, and fixes available.

1. Log into the FortiCloud site and download the latest firmware to your local computer.
2. Log into the FortiAuthenticator-VM from a browser.
3. Navigate to System > Administration > Firmware Upgrade.
4. Click Upload a file, locate the firmware image on your local computer, and click Open.
5. Click OK.

The firmware image uploads from your local computer to the FortiAuthenticator-VM, which will then reboot. For a short period of time during this reboot, the FortiAuthenticator-VM is offline and unavailable for authentication.
