RADIUS servers
If you have configured RADIUS support and a user is required to authenticate
using a RADIUS server, the FortiGate unit sends the user’s credentials to the
RADIUS server for authentication. If the RADIUS server can authenticate the
user, the user is successfully authenticated with the FortiGate unit. If the RADIUS
server cannot authenticate the user, the connection is refused by the FortiGate
unit.
To configure a RADIUS server, go to User > RADIUS.
