Fortinet Fortigate managed FortiClient can be used as a VPN Client (IPSec and SSL), an AV client and a host vulnerability scanner. Forticlient is used as the corporate AV solution and for VPN remote access. It works on Windows and Mac but there's no Linux version. If your user wants remote access to their office then FortiClient would be a good solution.
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication(2FA) for your Fortinet Fortigate managed active directory increases security and ensures users only have access to the systems and resources they need access to. When you enable 2FA, your users enter their username and password (first factor) as usual, and they have to enter an authentication code (the second factor) which will be shared on their virtual or hardware 2FA solution to get access to Forticlient VPN.
The 2-factor authentication can be of two types depending on the VPN clients.
miniOrange accomplishes this by acting as a RADIUS server that accepts the username/password of the user entered as a RADIUS request and validates the user against the user store as Active Directory (AD). After the first level of authentication, miniOrange prompts the user with 2-factor authentication and either grants/revokes access based on the input by the user.
miniOrange supports multiple 2FA/MFA authentication methods for Fortinet Fortigate secure access such as, Push Notification, Soft Token, Microssoft / Google Authenticator etc.
| Authentication Type | Method | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| miniOrange Authenticator | Soft Token | |
| miniOrange Push Notification | ||
| Mobile Token | Google Authenticator | |
| Microsoft Authenticator | ||
| Authy Authenticator | ||
| SMS | OTP Over SMS | |
| SMS with Link | ||
| OTP Over Email | ||
| Email with Link | ||
| Call Verification | OTP Over Call | |
| Hardware Token | Yubikey Hardware Token | |
| Display Hardware Token |
You can opt for any of the 2FA methods to secure your Fortinet Fortigate. To integrate 2FA, you can enable RADIUS authentication in Fortinet Fortigate and configure policies in miniOrange to enable or disable 2FA for users.
miniOrange provides user authentication from various external directories such as miniOrange Directory, Microsoft AD, Azure AD, AWS Cognito and many more.

miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Okta, Shibboleth, Ping, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.
1. Create User in miniOrange
2. Bulk Upload Users in miniOrange via Uploading CSV File.
Here's the list of the attributes and what it does when we enable it. You can enable/disable accordingly.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Activate LDAP | All user authentications will be done with LDAP credentials if you Activate it |
| Sync users in miniOrange | Users will be created in miniOrange after authentication with LDAP |
| Backup Authentication | If LDAP credentials fail then user will be authenticated through miniOrange |
| Allow users to change password | This allows your users to change their password. It updates the new credentials in your LDAP server |
| Enable administrator login | On enabling this, your miniOrange Administrator login authenticates using your LDAP server |
| Show IdP to users | If you enable this option, this IdP will be visible to users |
| Send Configured Attributes | If you enable this option, then only the attributes configured below will be sent in attributes at the time of login |
Refer our guide to setup LDAPS on windows server.
miniOrange integrates with various external user sources such as directories, identity providers, and etc.
Contact us or email us at idpsupport@xecurify.com and we'll help you setting it up in no time.
(The Active Directory Group Provisioning (Sync) setup is done. Now, whenever a user is created or modified in LDAP server and if the Assign Users to groups is enabled, then user group attribute from the LDAP server will be automatically synced and the user group will be assigned or changed accordingly in miniOrange.)
(You can follow these steps and use the login URL present in the Branding section.)
Cause: Either the firewall has multiple outgoing IPs or Fortinet UI is not working.
Solution: Check for the configuration and use static ip for firewall and try test authentication using CLI.
Enter the following command in CLI to test connection:
#diagnose test authserver radius <server_name> <chap | pap | mschap | mschap2> <username> <password>
#config user radius
edit "<server_name>"
set server "<vpn_server_ip>"
set secret SUPERSECRETPASSWORD
set auth-type <chap | pap | mschap | mschap2>
next
end
#config user group
edit "radiusgroup"
set member "<server_name>"
config match
edit 1
set server-name "<server_name>"
set group-name "radiusgroup"
next
end
next
end
#config system admin
edit "radiusadmin"
set remote-auth enable
set accprofile "super_admin"
set vdom "root"
set remote-group "radiusgroup"
set password fortinetlocal
next
end
Cause: This is because the server(from putty) does not read our 2FA challenge message.
Solution: Put received OTP in both New Password and Confirm Password.
