Remote authentication query failures
If your network administrators’ or other accounts reside on an external server (e.g. Active Directory or RADIUS), first switch the account to be locally defined on the FortiWeb appliance. If the local account fails, correct connectivity between the client and appliance (see “Connectivity issues”). If the local account succeeds, troubleshoot connectivity between the appliance and your authentication server. If routing exists but authentication still fails, you can verify correct vendor-specific attributes and other protocol-specific fields by running a packet trace (see “Packet capture”).
