FortiGate-60M Administration Guide
To enable authentication, you must add user names, RADIUS servers, and LDAP
servers to one or more user groups. You can then assign a firewall protection profile
to the user group. You can configure authentication as follows:
• Firewall policies that require authentication:
You can choose the user groups that are allowed to authenticate with these
policies.
• IPSec VPN Phase 1 configurations for dialup users:
Only users in the selected user group can authenticate to use the VPN tunnel.
• XAuth for IPSec VPN Phase 1 configurations:
Only user groups in the selected user group can be authenticated using XAuth.
• The FortiGate PPTP configuration:
Only users in the selected user group can use PPTP.
• The FortiGate L2TP configuration:
Only users in the selected user group can use L2TP.
When you add user names, RADIUS servers, and LDAP servers to a user group, the
order in which they are added determines the order in which the FortiGate unit checks
for authentication. If user names are first, then the FortiGate unit checks for a match
with these local users. If a match is not found, the FortiGate unit checks the RADIUS
or LDAP server. If a RADIUS or LDAP server is added first, the FortiGate unit checks
the server and then the local users.
