RADIUS servers
If you have configured RADIUS support and a user is required to authenticate
using a RADIUS server, the FortiGate unit sends the user’s credentials to the
RADIUS server for authentication. If the RADIUS server can authenticate the
user, the user is successfully authenticated with the FortiGate unit. If the RADIUS
server cannot authenticate the user, the connection is refused by the FortiGate
unit.
Note: The default port for RADIUS traffic is 1812. If your RADIUS server is using port 1645,
use the CLI to change the default RADIUS port. For more information see the config
system global command in the FortiGate CLI Reference.
To configure a RADIUS server, go to User > RADIUS.
