    Overview

    FortiAuthenticator - Access Management establishing Identity for the Security Fabric

    FortiAuthenticator builds on the foundations of Fortinet Single Sign-on 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 is the gatekeeper of authorization 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. FortiAuthenticator delivers transparent identification via a wide range of methods: *Polling of an Active Directory Domain Controller; *Integration with FortiAuthenticator Single Sign-On Mobility Agent which detects login, IP address changes and logout; *RADIUS Accounting *SAML SP/IdP Web SSO

    Key FortiAuthenticator Features *Seamless secure two-factor/OTP authentication across the organization in conjunction with FortiToken *RADIUS and LDAP Authentication *Certificate management for enterprise wireless and VPN deployment *Guest management for wired and wireless network security *Single Sign On capabilities for both internal and cloud networks

    Highlights

    • Ability to transparently identify network users and enforce identity-driven policy on a Fortinet-enabled enterprise network
    • Guest management for wired and wireless network security

    FortiAuthenticator is a great security tool

    Reviewed on Jan 19, 2023
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    FortiAuthenicator allows my users to quickly self-authenticate using the mobile app when connecting to our internal Citrix infrastructure from external endpoints.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes there's a lag after a user authenticates before they get a response in the app. But that's a pretty minor nag, and security is rarely convenient! So not a big deal.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    FortiAuthenticator helps prevent non-trusted parties from hacking into our internal resources using our external Citrix gateway. So mainly security peace-of-mind.
