You can choose to use a plain text password for authentication through the
FortiGate unit (Local domain), forward authentication requests to an external
RADIUS or LDAP server, or utilize PKI certificate authentication. If password
protection will be provided through a RADIUS or LDAP server, you must configure
the FortiGate unit to forward authentication requests to the RADIUS or LDAP
server. In the case of certificate authentication, you must install the required
certificates.
The following procedures explain how to create a user account and user group in
the Local domain. For information about how to create RADIUS, LDAP or PKI
user accounts, refer to the “User” chapter of the FortiGate Administration Guide.
For information about certificate authentication, see the FortiGate Certificate
Management User Guide.
