Configuring XAuth authentication

Extended Authentication (XAuth) increases security by requiring additional user
authentication in a separate exchange at the end of the VPN Phase 1 negotiation.
The FortiGate unit challenges the user for a user name and password. It then
forwards the user credentials to an external RADIUS or LDAP server for
verification.

XAuth can be used in addition to or in place of IPSec phase 1 peer options to
provide access security through an LDAP or RADIUS authentication server. You
must configure dialup users as members of a user group who are externally
authenticated. None can have passwords stored on the FortiGate unit.
