g80fz (g80fz) asked a question.
We followed the following guide and no success. Not sure if we're missing something. We currently use DUO/ipsec for our Fortigate VPN and that works flawlessly. Not sure if Okta offers ipsec.....
Also not sure what VPN settings I have to setup/configure in Fortigate VPN app. It wasn't mentioned in the guide.
If anyone could help that would be really great and helpful! ^^

Hi Sumi - thanks for your question! I'd recommend opening a case for this, which it looks like you've already done 🙂
Thanks,

Hey @g80fz (g80fz)
I am facing same issue. Did you got any luck with IPSEC VPN on Fortigate ?
Yes we figured it out. But unfortunately we couldn’t go with Okta due to the fact that they only offered PAP.
So if you wish to use IPsec then you would need to go to VPN > IPsec Tunnels on Fortigate. Make sure the authentication method is set to Pre-shared key. For XAUTH, the type needs to be set to PAP server and the User group set to your Firewall group that you need to create.
Thanks,
Sumi
@g80fz (g80fz)
So you mean we have to create local group on Firewall ?
You pretty much follow this Okta/Fortigate guide https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/integrations/fortinet-radius-intg.htm
1. On your Fortigate make sure you define a RADIUS server profile for Okta first
2. On your Fortigate define a Firewall Group (User & Device > User Groups)
3. Define a IPv4 Policy
4. Set up a IPsec Tunnel (VPN > IPsec Tunnels) if you wish to use IPsec for VPN
Thanks,
Sumi
@g80fz (g80fz) Thank you for response. I think I got little confused here. So does Fortinet IPSEC VPN works with OKTA or not ?
Thanks,
Sumi
