Why each option
FortiGate units support various authentication types, including integration with external directory services like LDAP and RADIUS, as well as managing local user accounts directly on the device.
While FortiGate can integrate with Active Directory, which uses Kerberos, FortiGate does not typically use Kerberos as a direct authentication type for users to log into the FortiGate or access resources in the same manner as LDAP or RADIUS.
FortiGate units can integrate with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers, such as Active Directory, to authenticate users against existing directory infrastructure.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a widely supported protocol that FortiGate can use to authenticate users against a central RADIUS server.
FortiGate units allow administrators to create and manage local user accounts directly on the device for authentication purposes.
