SPP supports Fortinet Internet appliances. SPP uses the SSH protocol to connect to Fortinet devices.
To prepare a Fortinet FortiOS device for SPP
- Create the service account as a local user on the managed system and assign it a password.
- 
Add the service account to the Fortinet Administrators group. This allows the service account to access the device with SSH to manage users. IMPORTANT: SPP can only manage passwords for users that are members of the Fortinet Administrators group. 
- Enable and configure the SSH server to allow the service account to log in remotely.
- Add the Fortinet device to SPP using password authentication.
