Chapter 3 Authentication for FortiOS 5.0 : Introduction to authentication : Types of authentication : Firewall authentication (identity-based policies) : RADIUS SSO
  
RADIUS SSO
RADIUS Single Sign-On (RSSO) is a remote authentication method that does not require any local users to be configured, and relies on RADIUS Start records to provide the FortiGate unit with authentication information. That information identifies the user and user group, which is then matched using a security policy. See “SSO using RADIUS accounting records”.
