Feature Request: Fortigate logging to add "Username" based Forticlient if no direct login

Scenario:

[ul]
  • Customer has no onsite authentication server - everything is google/azure based auth
  • All windows computers have forticlient installed
  • Because there is no local auth, we can't use FSSO[/ul]

     

    Current Behavior:

    [ul]
  • All of the Logs have blank for User or Initiator
  • If you look at the FortiClient Monitor you can visually see the currently logged windows user "display name"
  • If a user logs out of windows and a different user logs in, the Forticlient Monitor immediately changes the "display name" to the new user.
  • Only problem - if user logs off windows and no other user logs in the FortiClient Monitor still shows the last user...  [/ul]

     

    Feature request:

    [ul]
  • If the user doesn't log into Fortigate either directly or through SSO but DOES have FortiClient installed then map/merge the username/IP into the normal logging.
  • Update Forticlient to report "No User"  when a user logs off windows[/ul]

     

    Alternately - allow SSO with at least Microsoft Azure Active Directory and Google Enterprise's "Cloud Identity" (my cloud only clients are about 80% AzureAD as their single source of truth for authentication).

     

    Benefit for Fortinet:

    [ol]
  • Competitive advantage
  • Sell more paid licenses of FortiClient
  • Better logging data makes Fortigate and Fortinet more useful[/ol]

     

     

    I hope this feature request is written well enough to be considered.

     

    Thank you
