This article describes steps to take when the error ‘Failed to retrieve FortiToken Cloud status’ appears in the FortiGate GUI.
This error may show when assigning a FortiToken Cloud to a user from the FortiGate GUI.
Scope
FortiOS.
Solution
- Ensure to have connectivity to the FortiGuard server from the management VDOM. It is also possible to check if there is a red banner on the GUI dashboard saying ‘Unable to connect to FortiGuard server’. If this is the case, refer to Troubleshooting Tip: Unable to connect to FortiGuard servers.
- Check the DNS settings, so that at least one of the two DNS servers is a public DNS server. Note that the pre-populated servers 96.45.45.45 or 96.45.46.46 only work with DOT and DOH protocols, so it is possible to use a different public DNS server IP as desired.
- Alternatively, change the protocol from dot or cleartext in the DNS global setting on the FortiGate:
config system dns
set protocol cleartext
end
- Make sure to set the minimum TLS version to 1.2 since FortiToken Cloud does not support TLS v1.3 yet:
config system global
set ssl-min-proto-ver TLSv1-2
end
- Check for the FortiToken Cloud server by executing the commands:
diagnose fortitoken-cloud show service
diagnose fortitoken-cloud server
If the output returns the server IP with port 8686, it means that the firewall is connected to the FortiToken Cloud server.
- Check the DNS settings on FortiGate and connectivity to FortiCloud FQDN:
execute ping logctrl1.fortinet.com
PING logctrl1.fortinet.com (154.52.17.92): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 154.52.17.92: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=59.1 ms
- If the DNS can resolve without any issue that confirms the connectivity the next steps would be to check the output for the below commands:
diagnose test application forticldd 1
diagnose test application forticldd 3
For the non-working scenario, the output would be as below where it would be missing the account information:
diagnose test application forticldd 1
System=FGT Platform=FG4H0F
Connection vdom: root, id=0, ha=primary.
acct_id=
acct_st=Logged Out <– This should have the FortiCloud account information.
FortiGuard interface selection: method=auto specify=FortiGuard log: status=disabled, full=overwrite, ssl_opt=1, source-ip=0.0.0.0
If it does not show the account information, try to re-connect the cloud account:
execute fortiguard-log login <email> <password> <domain> <– Domain can be Global/US/Europe.
For the working scenario, the output would be something like below:
diagnose test application forticldd 1
System=FGT Platform=Fortigate_Model
Management vdom: root, id=0, ha=master.
acct_id=User_ID@company_id.com
acct_st=OK <– For a working scenario it will show the account information.
FortiGuard log: status=enabled, full=overwrite, ssl_opt=3, source-ip=0.0.0.0
Centra Management: type=FGD, flags=000000bf.
active-tasks=0
diagnose test application forticldd 3
Debug zone info:

Once it shows the account information updated, FortiGate should be able to connect the FortiCloud without any issues and able to retrieve the tokens from the Cloud account.
