User authentication menu changes
The user authentication part of FortiOS is seeing major changes for FortiOS 5.0. To begin, the User section of the web‑based manager has been renamed User & Device. All previously available user authentication features are still available but the menu structure has changed to include device identification, the vulnerability scanner, endpoint control, and client reputation:
• Go to User & Device > Authentication to configure single sign-on and add RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS+ servers
• Go to
User & Device > Vulnerability Scan to configure and operate the FortiGate vulnerability scanner (
“Vulnerability Scanning”)
• Go to User & Device > Monitor to view the firewall and banned user authentication lists
