Auth clients

An auth client can be hardware, software, or a third-party web application that FTC uses to perform user authentication. When creating a user, it is mandatory to have an auth client which is assigned to a realm in order for FTC to perform authentication with FortiProducts or third-party web apps. Once an auth client is created, you will be able to set the realms and adaptive auth profiles that the auth client uses. Note that by default, an auth client is automatically created when you connect your FortiGate to FTC. If you do not see the auth client (i.e., FortiGate) after connecting it to FTC, you can run the execute fortitoken-cloud update command which sends an updated list of VDOMs to FortiToken Cloud so that auth clients can be created for each VDOM on the FortiToken Cloud portal. Ensure that Auto-create Auth Client is enabled on the Settings > Global page. For how to get started with auth clients, see QuickStart Guide.
