- Backup configuration
- In the configuration file, look for the section
config certificate local
- Erase completely the section.
- Restore the config. The fortigate will re-generate all missing certificates.

Connect directly to the FortiAP using a switch (or a cross cable):
- Set your host's IP address for example to 192.168.1.3
- Connect to the FortiAP on
http://192.168.1.2
. This is its default factory address - Modify the AC_IPADDR (fortigate), the gateway (e.g. box, router...) and default IP address. Apply.
- Verify the modifications have been performed.
Then, un-wire the FortiAP and connect it to the FortiGate.
- Check the FortiAP will connect on the Network interface "internal" hardware switch. Check this interface has CAPWAP support.
- Go to Wifi, Managed FortiAPs, you should see it appear after a while (needs to boot). Authorize it.
- Set the SSID etc.
