When a user successfully logs in to Windows but internet access is denied, the very first thing to verify in an FSSO deployment is whether FortiGate has learned and mapped the user to the correct IP address.

FSSO works by receiving login events from Active Directory and building a local table on FortiGate that maps:

Username

Source IP address

AD group membership

FortiGate then uses this table to match identity-based firewall policies.
If the user’s IP address is missing or incorrect, FortiGate cannot match the traffic to an identity policy, so traffic is denied—even though the Windows login succeeded.
