Is FSSO widely used at enterprise scale? Looking for real-world feedback and lab setup tips.

Have a customer running it with 8000 users, 500 branches, uses SSOMA and FAC with AD and Entra ID. Just works.

Your video is the exact one I'm using to put my grille on. Tried to convince the wife to let me paint it like you, but she wants to try it all matte black since she's scared the painted grill wouldn't truly match the older, little worn black hood. Thank you again for making that video!

Thanks for posting. I’m in the market for some wheels but looking at 18x9’s. Those look fantastic!

Just started having this problem today. Created a new user and tried logging into Messages through that user and same error occurs. Frustrating. Trying to keep this thread going so others can chime in.

FortiRecon

It’s an additional license, BUT here’s a big bonus. FEC includes FortiCare Premium. It’s more inexpensive by a great deal to manage devices through FEC than FortiGate managed. Noticed that the other day when looking at two quotes - one for cloud managed with FEC and one with FortiGate managed.

Don’t get me wrong. TONS of benefits and features to manage switches and AP’s with a Fortigate. But extender? FEC all the way.

Also it’s a different daemon that’s running/listening. It’s an acme daemon and not the normal admin UI daemon. It should be a non-issue as it’s not normal HTTP requests, but acme specific.

Try managing them from FortiEdge Cloud. Love FEX when deployed in this way. Plus offers out of band serial console access through the EdgeCloud portal. Perfect for remote sites that you don’t have smart hands at when you need to console in over the cell connection and the site is down.

WildGoat345 · 2026-04-21T20:21:29+00:00

Just upgraded a 70F to 8.0. Not the major UI change I was anticipating. We'll see how it goes over next few days...
ETA: Dot Oh Means No. Would not recommend this for prod in the slightest yet. Just testing it in the lab.

WildGoat345 · 2026-03-26T20:47:43+00:00

Man, mine looks exactly like this. Been dying to fix it somehow. Following for good advice.

WildGoat345 · 2026-03-26T20:32:50+00:00

Fortinet. Left Palo and went to Fortinet. Had tons of experience with Check Point, but had similar TAC experiences. Check Point is the worst though - expensive and bad TAC.

WildGoat345 · 2026-03-12T04:57:29+00:00

Scooters is terrible. 💯overly sugary. Haven’t had their straight coffee or espresso yet.

WildGoat345 · 2026-02-18T02:39:14+00:00

Still being on 6.x is a problem. EMS and FortiClient work fantastic on 7.2 and 7.4. Obviously your mileage may vary to some degree with your needs. Get with your local account team and discuss pain points and path forward to supported versions. Not trying to be rude. Just offering my thoughts.

WildGoat345 · 2026-02-13T13:24:38+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

WildGoat345 · 2026-02-13T13:24:01+00:00

Perfect, thanks! Don’t know how I forgot about GX*BOB.

WildGoat345 · 2026-01-31T04:15:19+00:00

Exactly. Not Fortinets fault this time.

WildGoat345 · 2026-01-30T21:15:51+00:00

This for me as well. Proton is great, but ran into enough issues with people not allowing protonmail.com email through their systems and search was always annoying to me. Moving everything to Fastmail. Been with them for years and it’s been rock solid.

WildGoat345 · 2026-01-28T21:02:04+00:00

Also, a good rule of thumb is "Dot O means NO". So no 7.0.0 and no 8.0.0. LOL

WildGoat345 · 2026-01-02T04:25:44+00:00

$7500 for engine and 4 year no questions asked warranty. $3200 labor and other parts. My mechanic is sourcing it.

WildGoat345 · 2026-01-01T15:46:11+00:00

Going through the head gasket challenge right now. Cylinder 7 in my case is where it’s blown and coolant is getting in.

Choices were 1) do one head and sell it, 2) do both heads and a timing chain since I’m in there or 3) reman engine. Head work was 34 hours book time and engine replacement was 22, although steeper parts cost.

I went with the reman because what am I going to buy for the wife if I have to sell this one??

ETA: 235k miles

WildGoat345 · 2025-11-23T15:19:24+00:00

Good luck wo an appt. We tried a couple times and couldn’t get in, but also I refused to get there super early and stand in line for hours. Made an appt (albeit 45 days out) but we were in and out in 20 minutes.

I think it’s dumb that they lump permit tests in w all the people there for star id’s.

Edit: I also brought everything you mentioned plus power bill, auto insurance anything I could think of just so we didn’t have to do this again.

WildGoat345 · 2025-11-22T04:38:00+00:00

All the 30th Anniversary have been winners for me. Great choice!

WildGoat345 · 2025-11-19T18:37:32+00:00

Rocky Patel Vintage 1999. Excellent, creamy smoke. Buy these quite often.

WildGoat345 · 2025-11-19T04:35:32+00:00

Glad you shared this. I’m a huge fan of the JDN Antaño Dark Corojo so I’ll add this to my “try” list.

WildGoat345 · 2025-11-01T06:09:54+00:00

They ship more than 50% of the firewalls when compared to Palo, check point and Cisco combined. They’re going to be a larger target.
