Smart Connect
In large secure wireless enterprise networks configuring and managing an enormous number of secure clients to operate in a desired manner is a challenge. Smart Connect uses FortiGuest's built-in database and infrastructure to automatically configure both wireless and wired client devices, categorized as different device types and requiring different wireless settings. This avoids manual configuration of a large number of devices. Smart Connect currently supports iOS, Chrome, Android, and macOS.
Smart Connect has the ability to configure wireless profiles and ensure that users are provisioned and connected to the secure network across a range of laptops, phones, and tablets. Smart Connect allows you to define a set of rules known as a Smart Connect Policy. This policy defines which Smart Connect Profile is applied to each user. After a user is authenticated and authorized, FortiGuest applies the Smart Connect policy rules on that user, to find the appropriate Smart Connect profile to connect to the network.
