Authentication - Fortinet FortiGate 1U Quick Start Manual

Authentication

Authentication, the act of confirming the identity of a person or device, is a key part
of network security. In the context of a private computer network, the identities of
users or host computers must be established to ensure that only authorized parties
can access the network. The FortiGate unit enables controlled network access and
applies authentication to users of security policies and VPN clients.
