  You should really upgrade.  2.1.12 is many years out of date.

  There is a lot of documentation on proxying.  There is no documentation for "how do I configure vendor X product Y firmware Z".

  If the product does RADIUS, then normal RADIUS configuration will work.  If the product doesn't do RADIUS, throw it in the garbage and buy one that does RADIUS.

  Doesl the Fortigate documentation say it returns a group in a RADIUS attribute?

  If not, then it's impossible.

  That's better than most, but I'm still amazed at the work people put into *not* reading the documentation that comes with FreeRADIUS.

  Run the server in debugging mode as suggested in the FAQ, "man" pages, web pages, and daily on this list.

  This is documented.
