LookUp authentication agent failed error in RSA manager? Steps to resolve it?

Jump to solution

HI Team 

 

I have done the integration of RSA manager with fortigate firewall. Created one user in RSA manager for testing purpose and created a entry in fortigate VPN section for login. I have tested the connectivity from fortigate to the RSA Manager, Its working fine. User testing also I have done from the firewall end. I have generated token as well. Now when I am trying to login from Forti client (VPN) I am getting a error as "Permission  Denied" and when I checked the logs it says as LookUp authentication agent failed.

Integration model number -

Fortigate 600C software ver. v5.2.3,build670 (GA)

 I have also attached a screenshot kindly have a look.

That error message is saying: I see an authentication request coming in from an IP address, but I cannot find

that IP address anywhere in my agent config or my radius client config.

 

You need to create a new radius client with that IP address, and save it, and when saving, choose save and create associated RSA agent, and then save that next screen. Now you have both a radius client entry, and an authentication agent entry. The RSA server can now handle either radius auth ,or standard securid auth, [or both], from the IP address.

You either need an authentication agent, or a RADIUS Client with associated Authentication agent.  I think most of the Fortigates use RADIUS to talk to SecurID, so the later, which is described in one of the Implementation Guides I found on RSA Link

Hi Jay 

 

Thank you for your reply really appreciate it. I tired checking the user which I created on the RSA manager to connect from the firewall its working. But when I connect from forti client (VPN) to internal network I am not able to connect and getting the same error as above. Can you please tell me how should I go about with the troubleshooting?

The link which you provided is same of the current page.
