Login Credentials to access Internet

[sanu]

Dear Friends,

I have a 80C firewall , i would like to know whether it is possible to enable a log in mechanism by which i can allocate usernames and passwords through my fortigate firewall to each user, so that only valid credentials will be able to access the internet and the others will only limit to LAN access.

If can then please teach me how ?

many thanks in advance

Identity (in this case user or group) based policies is what you probably want :) FortiNet Cookbook has an article on this: https://cookbook.fortinet.com/creating-security-policies-60/

Hi SW,

Thanks for your reply and your comment help me a lot , i have successfully configured both User and group and i also mange to assign policy to them but i have a small issue now. Once the user has been enrolled with my policy while browsing the browser is rerouting me to a log in page where i did log in using my credentials as created but after that the browser is bring me to another page where i am getting the following message. I am not so sure what it is all about. Please have a look and advise.

I following the instructions as well and installed a Fortinet software which was attach to the message but the result is still same.

Endpoint Security Required

The use of this security policy requires that the latest FortiClient Endpoint Security software and antivirus signature package are installed.

Please make sure:

FortiClient is installed and running,

FortiClient is registered with FortiGate and currently in "online" status, and

the "Disable configuration sync with FortiGate" option in FortiClient settings is turned off.[/ol] Installing FortiClient requires that you have administrator privileges on your computer. If you do not, please contact your network administrator to have FortiClient installed.

Installation Instructions for Windows:

[ol]

Click on the button below to download the FortiClient installer file.

Double-click the installer file and this will run a standard installation.

Follow the instructions on screen to install FortiClient.[/ol]

Please Please Please help ............................. :)

Probably this is due to the securtiy default settings of FortiOS 5.4. and later. I had similar issuses with my dial up vpns. You might have to disable this in system->settings or where said in your screenshot.

I figured it out already , when you set policy there is a option called "Compliant with FortiClient Profile"

which we need to disable

Any way i learned a lot from all the comments very informative thank you so much !!!!
