Auto-create Auth Client

This feature applies to FortiGate/FortiOS VDOMs only.

Normally, the FortiGate administrator can add a VDOM to FTC as an auth client by enabling the first user on the VDOM for FTC (if the VDOM has not already been assigned to a realm). So when FTC receives a VDOM list from FortiOS with a new VDOM with a user enabled for FTC service, it automatically adds that VDOM as an auth client. This may inadvertently allow unintended auth clients to consume your FTC quotas or credits. To prevent this from happening, FTC has introduced the Auto-create Auth Client option to make the "add-auth-client-on-creation-of-first-user" feature optional in its global settings.
