Step 2: The ‘sslvpntest1’ is a member of ‘sslvpngrp1’, ‘sslvpngrp2’, ‘sslvpngrp3’, ‘sslvpngrp4’ and ‘sslvpngrp5’.

The 'sslvpntest1' is a member of 'sslvpngrp1', 'sslvpngrp2', 'sslvpngrp3', 'sslvpngrp4' and 'sslvpngrp5'.

# diag debug app fnbamd -1
# diag debug en

Step 7: Then here is a sample log that would show how the FortiGate matches the ‘sslvpntest1’ to all the group that it is part of after it authenticates on SSL-VPN.
