Fortigate Firewall | Enable Local User Authentication and Captive Portal

Introduction: In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to configure local user authentication on a Fortigate firewall and enable a captive portal to secure network access. This is useful for environments where you want to authenticate users directly on the firewall before they can access network resources.

[Step 1: Access Fortigate Web Interface]

Open your web browser and navigate to the Fortigate management interface by entering the IP address of your Fortigate firewall.

Log in using your administrator credentials.

[Step 2: Create Local User Accounts]

Navigate to User & Authentication User Definition Create New.

Choose a Local User.

Enter the username and password for the user you want to add.

Optionally, configure user groups if you want to assign multiple users to the same group.

Click OK to save the user.

[Step 3: Configure Captive Portal]

Go to Network Interfaces and select the interface where you want to enable the captive portal (for example, the LAN interface).

Edit the interface settings:

Enable Security Mode.

Under Security Mode, check the box for the Captive Portal.

In the Authentication Portal section, select Local User Authentication.

You can also customize the captive portal login page to display a custom message or company branding.

[Step 4: Set Up Authentication Rule for Captive Portal]

Go to Policy & Objects IPv4 Policy.

Create a new policy for the interface where a captive portal is enabled.

Set Source to the user group or IP address range you want to authenticate.

Set Destination to All.

Under Action, choose Accept.

Make sure the Enable Identity-based Policy is checked.

Under Authentication, choose the user group or local users created earlier.

[Step 5: Test Captive Portal and Authentication]

Connect a client device to the interface where the captive portal is enabled.

Open any web browser on the client device, and you should be redirected to the captive portal login page.

Enter the local user credentials to authenticate and access the network.

That’s it! You've successfully configured local user authentication and enabled a captive portal on your Fortigate firewall. This setup helps secure your network by requiring users to log in before accessing any resources. In future videos, I’ll cover more advanced features like integrating with external authentication servers and customizing the captive portal further.
