Description
This article describes that after applying the fixed for CVE-2019-5591 below, user is unable to login in FortiClient.

# config user ldap
    edit "LDAP"
        set server-identity-check enable
    end

Solution
Procedure to collect the packet capture.

# diag sniffer packet any 'host <LDAPS_IP> and port <LDAPS_port>'' 6 0 l

Tried to connect to SSLVPN with set server-identity-check enabled.
To stop the sniffer, press 'CTRL + C'.

From the PCAP, the LDAPS server certificate in the subject should contains hostname 'ldap.example.com'.

Once the hostname has been identified, change the LDAP server from IP address to FQDN and enable 'server-identity-check', 

# config user ldap
    edit "LDAP"
        set server "Certificate_Hostname"
        set server-identity-check enable
end

NOTE.
Make sure, that the FQDN for the certificate hostname can be resolved by the configured DNS servers.
