How to fix ZTNA tag are not syncing with the FortiGate

This article discusses issues with ZTNA tag syncing.

Scope

FortiGate v7.x.

Solution

ZTNA tags are synced when FortiClient EMS is added to Security Fabric To add FortiClient EMS to Security Fabric.

To Synchronize ZTNA tags, FortiClient sends info to WEBSocket on HTTPS port 8013. FortiGate uses fcnacd process to fetch info from web socket.

To check the fcnacd status, use the following command

diagnose debug application fcnacd 2

If ZTNA tags are not being synchronized properly, enable the following debugs and make some changes to tags on some endpoints:

diagnose debug application fcnacd -1
diagnose debug console timestamp enable
diagnose endpoint filter show-large-data yes
diagnose debug en

Restart the fcnacd process or make changes to endpoints to check the logs.

To restart the fcnacd process use the following command:

diagnose debug application fcnacd 99

Stop the debugs after reproducing the issue using the following commands:

diagnose debug disable
diagnose debug reset
