    hello,
    the domain controller on which fsso agent is installed could be in any vlan forexample, fortigate firewall is vlan 60 and DC on which agent is installed in vlan 50 and intervlan routing is enables we can ping the firewall from the domain controller but in this setup of different vlan the fsso agent should work with fortigate without any problem because there is L3 communication between them. i have issue the collector agent doesn’t track the domain logon users and ipv4 policy in fortigate based on fsso agent groups is not working and i cant keep both agent and firewall in same vlan they are in different vlans but this shouldnt be an issue. please advise as i am tired of debugging and fortigate TAC is also not taking this issue serious. if anyone could help please…
    Regards

    Hi Khan

    FGT connect to FFSO agent via TCP port 8000 by default. As long as you allow traffic from vlan60 to vlan 50 with this port, the communication should be established

    You can verify server status via CLI commands

    FGT-VM-ESX-Router # diagnose debug enable
    FGT-VM-ESX-Router # diagnose debug authd fsso server-status
    FGT-VM-ESX-Router #
    Server Name Connection Status Version
