While attempting to configure a Fortigate 80c to use an external radius server it encountered errors in that every authentication request that went through did not succeed.
It was discovered that there is a limit on the number of characters allowed in the secret for the Primary server.
A portscan of the wan side of a Fortigate device whill show that port 541 is open. This port is used for Fortimanager and Fortiguard Server. If you do not use either of these services the port can be closed using the following:
config system central-management
set status disable
