Configuring FSSO on the FortiGate

  1. On the FortiGate, go to User & Device > Single Sign-On and select Create New.
  2. Set Type to Fortinet Single Sign-On Agent, enter a Name, the FortiAuthenticator’s wan-interface IP, and the password, using the secret key entered into the FortiAuthenticator earlier.

    Select Apply & Refresh. The SAML user group name has been successfully pushed to the FortiGate from the FortiAuthenticator, appearing when you select View.

    Note that you may have to wait a few minutes before the user group appears.

  3. Once created, the server will be listed. Mouse over the entry under the Users/Groups column and make sure that the FSSO group has been pushed down.
  4. Then go to User & Device > User Groups and create a new user group.
  5. Enter a Name, set Type to Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO), and add the FSSO group as a Member.
