FORTIAUTHENTICATOR
CENTRALISED AUTHENTICATION SERVICES FOR THE FORTINET SECURITY FABRIC
FortiAuthenticator
Network and Internet access is key for almost every role within the enterprise; however, this requirement must be balanced with the risk that it brings. The key objective of every enterprise is to provide secure but controlled network access enabling the right person the right access at the right time, without compromising on security.
Strengthen security with FortiAuthenticator by ensuring only the right person at the right time can access your sensitive networks and data.
THE RIGHT PERSON AT THE RIGHT TIME
FortiAuthenticator can identify users through a varied range of methods and integrate with third party LDAP or Active Directory systems to apply group or role data to the user and communicate with FortiGate for use in Identity-based policies.
As a completely flexible system, FortiAuthenticator can utilise these methods in combination. For example, in a large enterprise, AD polling or FortiAuthenticator SSO Mobility Agent may be chosen as the primary method for transparent authentication with fallback to the portal for non-domain systems or guest users.
FORTIAUTHENTICATOR DELIVERS

Active Directory & LDAP authentication
Fortinet Single Sign-On is the method of providing secure identity and role-based access to the Fortinet connected network. Through integration with existing Active Directory or LDAP authentication systems, it enables enterprise user identity based security without impeding the user or generating work for network administrators.
FortiAuthenticator builds on the foundations of Fortinet Single Sign-on, adding a greater range of user identification methods and greater scalability. FortiAuthenticator is the gatekeeper of authorisation into the Fortinet secured enterprise network identifying users, querying access permissions from third-party systems and communicating this information to FortiGate devices for use in Identity-Based Policies.
