When a remote RADIUS server is configured for two-factor authentication, RADIUS users must enter a FortiToken pin code or the code from email/SMS to complete login. For example, after the user clicks Login, the user must enter the code, and click Submit to complete the login. A pin code is also needed for the test login page. |
