Configuring the social portal RADIUS service on the FortiAuthenticator

Configuring the social portal RADIUS service on the FortiAuthenticator

  1. Go to Authentication > User Management > User Groups and create a Social_Users user group.
  2. Users that log in through the forms-based authentication method will be placed in this group once it is added to the captive portal general settings.

  3. Go to Authentication > RADIUS Service > Clients and create a new RADIUS client.
  4. Enter a Name for the RADIUS client (the FortiGate) and enter its IP address (in the example, 172.20.121.56).

    Enable the Social portal captive portal.

    Enter the pre-shared Secret and set the Authentication method. The FortiGate will use this secret key in its RADIUS configuration.

    Add the Social_Users user group to the Realms group filter as shown.

    Select Save and then OK.

  5. Next go to Authentication > Captive Portal > General and enable Social Portal.
  6. Configure the account expiry time (in the example, 1 hour).

    Set Place registered users into a group to Social_Users.

    Enable the SMS self-registration and e-mail self-registration login options. Be sure SMS gateway is set to Use default.
