FortiOS v3.0 MR7 User Authentication User Guide
01-30007-0347-20080828
The style of the authentication method varies by the authentication protocol. If you
have selected HTTP, FTP or Telnet, user name and password-based
authentication occurs: the FortiGate unit prompts network users to input their
firewall user name and password. If you have selected HTTPS, certificate-based
authentication (HTTPS or HTTP redirected to HTTPS only) occurs: you must
install customized certificates on the FortiGate unit and on the browsers of
network users, which the FortiGate unit matches.
Note: You can only configure user authentication for firewall policies where Action is set to
Accept.
Authentication is an Advanced firewall option.
