Activate a FortiToken on the FortiProxy unit

Activate a FortiToken on the FortiProxy unit

After one or more FortiTokens have been added to the FortiProxy unit, they must be activated before being available to be associated with accounts. The process of activation involves the FortiProxy unit querying FortiGuard servers about the validity of each FortiToken. The serial number and information is encrypted before it is sent for added security.
