FortiGate® appliances provide enterprise-class protection against network, content, and application-level threats
for any deployment, from small offices to large enterprises, service providers, and carriers. Providing secure
access via a VPN over existing Internet connections requires strong, two-factor authentication to protect
resources. The ActivIdentity solutions that work with FortiGate appliances incorporate SSL VPN solutions with
versatile, strong authentication that is flexible, scalable, and simple to manage. ActivIdentity offers two solutions:
•ActivIdentity® 4TRESS AAA Server for Remote Access—Addresses the security risks associated
with a mobile workforce remotely accessing systems and data.
•ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server (AS)—Offers support for multiple authentication methods
that are useful for diverse audiences across a variety of service channels (SAML, Radius, etc.),
including user name and password, mobile and PC soft tokens, one-time passwords, and transparent
Web soft tokens.

ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Web Tokens and SSL VPN Fortinet Secure Access | Integration Handbook
Note: In any firewall user group, you can enable SSL VPN access and select the Web portal that the users
can access. When the user connects to the FortiGate unit via HTTPS on the SSL VPN port (default 10443),
the FortiGate unit requests a username and password.
3. To add a new remote authentication server, click Add. The Remote Server drop-down list appears, along
with information about the Group Name.
4. Use the Group Name field to configure group name(s) to be added as identities who can be authenticated.
GROUP NAME OPTIONS:
• In the Group Name field, select Any to match all possible groups.
• In the Group Name field, select Specify, and then enter the group name in the appropriate format
for the type of server (RADIUS).
• You must specify at least one group name. The group name is the name of the group on
the RADIUS server.
• If you want to specify more than one group name, then use a comma to separate the
names.
•Important: When you specify a group name or names, you must use a specific RADIUS
dictionary on the AAA Server and also create an authorization profile. For more
information on this topic, refer to the guide named 4TRESS_AAA_AdminGuide.pdf,
specifically the section called Create a New RADIUS Authorization Profile.
• Also refer to the following vendor-specific requirements.
ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Web Tokens and SSL VPN Fortinet Secure Access | Integration Handbook

Portal configuration determines what remote users see when they log in to the portal. Both the system
administrator and the user have the ability to customize the SSL VPN portal.
There are three pre-defined default Web portal configurations available:
• Full access
• Tunnel access
• Web access
1. To view the portal settings page, navigate to VPN > SSL > Portal in the FortiGate Web console. (This
document uses the full-access portal default.)
2. Configure the following settings.
•Session Information—The Session Information widget displays the login name of the user, the
amount of time the user has been logged in, and the inbound and outbound traffic statistics.
ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Web Tokens and SSL VPN Fortinet Secure Access | Integration Handbook
•Bookmarks—Bookmarks are used as links to internal network resources. When a bookmark is
selected from a bookmark list, a pop-up window appears with the web page. Telnet, VNC, and RDP
require a browser plug-in. FTP and Samba replace the bookmarks page with an HTML file-browser.
•Connection Tool—Use the Connection Tool widget to connect to an internal network resource
without adding a bookmark to the bookmark list. You select the type of resource and specify the
URL or IP address of the host computer.
•Tunnel Mode—If your Web portal provides tunnel mode access, then you have to configure the
Tunnel Mode widget. These settings determine how tunnel mode clients are assigned IP
addresses.
3. Click Apply.
For more information on how to customize this portal, refer to the document, Fortigate-sslvpn-40-mr3.pdf (full
name: Fortinet SSL VPN ForiOS™ Handbook v3 for FortiOS 4.0 MR3). Locate the document at the following
URL:
3.3 Procedure 3: Configure the FortiGate Replacement Message
Authentication replacement messages are the prompts a user sees during the security authentication process,
such as a login page, disclaimer page, and login success or failure pages.
Contact your ActivIdentity pre-sales representative to obtain samples of custom pages that integrate the Web soft
token as an option. Then you can upload the sample page into the FortiGate appliance.
However, it’s not possible to upload the Web token applet (.jar file) and the Web token image (.gif) directly into the
FortiGate appliance.
You will have to specify in the “SSL VPN Message” a link to the AAA Self Help Desk portal that hosts these
components. This information is contained in the ActivIdentity sample page. Just copy and paste the sample into
the SSL VPN Login Message, as described next.
