FortiCloud SSO

FortiCloud SSO

By default, the FortiGate is configured to allow administrators to log in using FortiCloud single sign-on. Both IAM and non-IAM users on the FortiCloud support portal are supported. Non‑IAM users must be the FortiCloud account that the FortiGate is registered to.

To configure an IAM user in FortiCloud:
  1. Log in to your FortiCloud account at support.fortinet.com.

  2. Select Services > IAM.

  3. See the FortiCloud Identity & Access Management (IAM) guide for more information.

To manually enable FortiCloud single sign-on in the GUI:
  1. Log in to the FortiGate and go to System > Settings.

  2. In the Administration Settings section, enable Allow administrative login using FortiCloud SSO.

  3. Click Apply.

To manually enable FortiCloud single sign-on in the CLI:
config system global
    set admin-forticloud-sso-login {enable | disable}
end
To log in to the FortiGate with the FortiCloud user:
  1. Go to the FortiGate log in screen.

  2. Click Sign in with FortiCloud. The FortiCloud log in page opens.

  3. Enter the FortiCloud account credentials and click Login.

    You are logged in to the FortiOS GUI. The SSO username is shown in the top right corner of the GUI.
