How to get Forticlient VPN running?

How to get Forticlient VPN running?

avatar

I have just created an RDM session, based on a Forticlient VPN.

While trying to open the VPN, I get the question about the installation path of FortiSSL (FortiSSLVPNclient.exe), the default path seems to be "C:\Program Files\Fortinet\SslvpnClient".

However, I don't have this directory on my PC: this is what I have:

Directory structure:
C:\Program Files\Fortinet>dir /AD
...
08/06/2022 14:40 <DIR> .
08/06/2022 14:40 <DIR> ..
04/04/2023 14:12 <DIR> FortiClient
08/06/2022 14:40 <DIR> FortiEDR
0 File(s) 0 bytes
4 Dir(s) 260,282,814,464 bytes free

"FortiSSLVPN*.exe" programs:
C:\Program Files\Fortinet>dir /S /B FortiSSLVPN*.exe
C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient\FortiSSLVPNdaemon.exe
C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient\FortiSSLVPNsys.exe
=> no FortiSSLVPNclient.exe

What can I do in order to make this work? (I went to Windows Store for getting FortiClient)

Thanks in advance

Hello,

It is possible to modify the default path of any external application in File - Options - Configure Installation Path.



Let us know if that helps.

I know it's possible to modify the installation path, but I don't find the mentioned application, nor the directory it's supposed to be installed in. Therefore I'm wondering if the name of the application is correct (for me, those tools are just needed to get a connection working, I'm no security/communication specialist). I went to Microsoft Store, following this URL "https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/forticlient/9WZDNCRDH6MC", is this the application which corresponds with Devolutions' Foriclient application?

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Per my screen capture, the application RDM expects is FortiSSLVPNclient.exe.



I have downloaded the application from this web page and the expected file is not available. But as a workaround, I have renamed the FortiSSLVPNdaemon.exe to FortiSSLVPNclient.exe and it seems to work.

I will verify with our engineering team if we need to update this information in our application and will get back to you.
