Hi all,

Just wondering if this may be a bug or just some misconfiguration and someone 
in the list experienced this before.

I’ve got this question from a dual-stack deployment, I will try to summarise it 
with the info I’ve got (not my deployment, just trying to help).

Network using Windows AD and basically only Windows clients. The Windows 
clients are dual-stack and are authenticated in the AD. The DNS registers 
correctly both their IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The Fortinet authenticator is pulling every few seconds via LDAP to the AD in 
order to “allow” certain groups of users to get access to Internet thru the 
firewall. The firewall rules are based on the user IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

It seems that this means that because the user has registered initially with 
IPv6 (as in dual stack takes precedence over IPv4), is reported by the 
authentication event from the AD to the Fortinet authenticator only the IPv6 
address, so it is only gaining access to IPv6.

So how you fix this in the authenticator so it gathers both the IPv4 and IPv6 
addresses and consequently open the firewall for both IPv4 and IPv6 of this 
user?

Right now it seems the only way to force the authenticator to recognise both 
the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the user is to reautenticate the user with both 
addresses. It looks to me strange that the authenticator only looks for the 
“registration event” with a single IP address and not both of them (IPv4 and 
IPv6, or even multiple IPv6 addresses - like the privacy one).

I tried to help looking for Fortinet documents about this, but didn’t found 
anything relevant.

Anyone has seen this behaviour before and/or has any idea about how to fix it?

Regards,
Jordi
