2025-05-26 19:43:34 [3852:root:2348]Timeout for connection 0x7fa8236800. When the connection is tested with web mode, it works as expected. The issue is with the FortiClient version which is not compatible with the FIPS configuration on firewall. FortiClient version 7.2.5, 7.4.1, or higher should be used with FortiGate with FIPS enabled. |
