1. Go to User & Device > Authentication > RADIUS Servers and select Create New.

2. Enter the following information, and select OK.

Name                                           RSA

To create a SecurID user:

1. Go to User & Device > User > User Definition, and select Create New.

2. Use the wizard to enter the following information, and then select Create.

User Type                                   Remote RADIUS User

Contact Info                               (optional) Enter Email or SMS information

User Group                                RSA_group

To test this configuration, on your FortiGate unit use the CLI command:

diagnose test authserver radius RSA auto wloman 111111111

The series of 1s is the one time password that your RSA SecurID token generates and you enter.

 

Using the SecurID user group for authentication

You can use the SecurID user group in several FortiOS features that authenticate by user group including

  • Security policy
  • IPsec VPN XAuth
  • PPTP VPN
  • SSL VPN

The following sections assume the SecurID user group is called securIDgrp and has already been configured. Unless otherwise states, default values are used.
