Application Access Gateway

Key Features and Benefits

AAG in FortiADC delivers secure and scalable remote access with the following capabilities:

  • Agentless Access – Eliminates the need for client-side agents, reducing endpoint dependency and administrative burden.
  • Federated Authentication Support – Supports SAML 2.0-based authentication using providers like Microsoft Entra ID and FortiAuthenticator.
  • Simplified Deployment – Requires no software installation, enabling rapid implementation in secure environments.
  • Real-Time Monitoring – Tracks user sessions and access logs for compliance and auditing.
  • Application-Layer Security Controls – Enforces IP reputation filtering and geolocation restrictions through the Application Profile attached to the AAG Virtual Server.

Supported Application Types in FortiADC AAG:

  • Web RDP – Provides full desktop access via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) through an HTML5 browser session. No RDP client is required on the endpoint.
  • Native RDP – Enables traditional RDP access using the native RDP client installed on the user’s device. Requires endpoint support for Microsoft RDP.
  • RemoteApp – Launches individual Windows applications published via Remote Desktop Services, rather than a full desktop session.
  • Web VNC – Offers browser-based access to VNC-enabled systems for remote control of graphical desktops.
  • Web SSH – Delivers secure command-line access to Linux and Unix systems through a browser-based SSH terminal.
  • Web Telnet – Enables text-based terminal sessions to legacy devices or servers using the Telnet protocol, directly within the browser.
