Description This article discusses an issue where one may receive a signature mismatch error when downloading a custom FortiEDR collector installer from Fortinet Cloud Services.
Scope FortiEDR.
Solution

The custom collector installers are built by Fortinet Cloud Services and sent to the administrator via email as outlined here:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiedr/5.0.0/administration-guide/204791/requesting-and-obtaining-a-collector-installer.

 

In some cases, when selecting the URL within the email body, a Google storage certificate mismatch error will be received when opening the URL in the browser, like so:

This is a result of the receiving email filtering system and/or mail transfer agent modifying the URL contents.

This modification can include adding white spacing or some encoded characters, such as '%20' close to the end of the signature portion of the URL.

Once the URL is copied into a notepad, remove this additional whitespace or encoded character which will resolve the mismatch error and allow one to successfully download the collector installer.

 

Fortinet recommends customers add the email address 'ens-ecs-inst@fortinet.com' to their filtering systems to allow the list to mitigate the chances of the email contents being modified.

 

If either of these steps does not resolve the issue, open a support ticket with FortiEDR TAC.
