We're using Fortinet FortiAuthenticator to bypass identity to the Fortinet FortiGate. We do not use FortiAuthenticator too much because it is middleware.
My customers use this solution for accessing banking applications online. I'm a reseller. I sell to my customers, and they use whatever I have. I provide Fortinet for my customers. We work with the latest version of this solution. It is deployed on the Fortinet cloud. We don't do it independently. There are 3,000 customers using this solution in my company on a daily basis.
We are a solution provider and we work with Fornet products, including FortiAuthenticator. I have installed it for a bank and their users authenticate their access through it. Our implementation involved the creation of local users for the VPN, and they are authenticated using this product. This is the main purpose of it, and what had been requested by the client.

We primarily use Fortinet FortiAuthenticator to centralize the management of user identity information in Security Architectures, enforce Role-Based authentication, and allow Two Factor authentication with Softclient support. This is a must-have technology in Fortinet implementations with several gateways and distributed environments. It is easy to set up and will reduce Network administrators' efforts to integrate diverse identification methods. Must evaluate Single Sing On Mobility Agents to full integration of users position on the network and complete the solution.
We use this solution for two-factor authentication of most of our services. It includes VPN but also many other services that we have on our internet servers. We use the on-premise version because we also want it integrated into our in-house applications. We are customers of Fortinet and I'm a systems administrator.
