    TFTP boot firmware upgrade process

    Upgrading FortiAuthenticator firmware by interrupting the FortiAuthenticator boot process and installing a firmware image from a TFTP server erases the current FortiAuthenticator configuration and replaces it with factory default settings.

    Monitor settings for GUI access

    Fortinet recommends setting your monitor to a screen resolution of 1600x1200. This allows for all the objects in the GUI to be viewed properly without the need for scrolling.

    Before any firmware upgrade

    Save a copy of your FortiAuthenticator configuration before upgrading the firmware. From the administrator dropdown menu in the toolbar, go to Restore/Backup, and click Download Backup File to backup the configuration.

    After any firmware upgrade

    Clear your browser cache before logging in to the FortiAuthenticator GUI to ensure the pages display properly.

    FortiAuthenticator does not support PEAP-MAB

    FortiAuthenticator only supports MAB in clear-text and not the encapsulated MAB.
