On my lab,I licensed the EMS server with a trial license through my forticloud account, see image below:             I noticed that there are only 3 licenses to test the clients.From direct experience does anyone know if it is possible to get trials for the ztna component from Fortinet ?Best Reagrds

Hi Everyone,I'm running Fortigate VM 7.0.14 for ESXi with 15dd trial license, the webui is lacking the "Security Profiles" item: is this due to the trial license or should I enable it from anywhere?Thanks

Issue has been detected in the FortiSOAR RDK (Rapid Development Kit) pertaining to the Onchange event and the associated input fields' display behavior. Particularly, when triggering the Onchange event for certain parameters, such as 'Without a User - Application Permission', the expected behavior of enabling the server URL textbox is not observed.    Onchange issue

I'm deploying FortiClient 7.2.3 using Jamf to macOS 14 devices. The issue we are having is that even though we have a mobileconfig profile deploying the necessary certificates and PPPC settings to the devices, when the FortiClient connects to our EMS server for the first time, it prompts for admin credentials for a certificate change. But regardless if you enter the password or cancel the prompt no change is made to the certificates in keychain. After the initial connection to EMS this prompt does not re-appear. Has anyone been able to get rid of this prompt? This wasn't an issue when we were using version 6.4.8 of FortiClient.

I just ran into this: We have a Windows DHCP that has a scope for a vlan.the vlan interface on the FGT100E is set to do dhcp relaying to this Windows DHCP.the Windows DHCP also has dhcp option 138 set for all scopes it has.If I now connect a client to this vlan interface and set it to request an ip via dhcp it does get an ip from the Windows DHCP. Also the correct scope is used. Networking works fine so far.However the DHCP ACK is missing the option 138 completely. If I do packet sniffing on the FGTs interface where the DHCP Server is connected to I do see the forwared request from my client and I do see the answers including the ACK. This ACK does contain option 138 but the value in the option is not what is configured on the DHCP Server. And as said the client doesn't receive option 138 at all. Did anyone exprience this or similar and has some hint for me why that happens?

Hello All, i try to use proxy ONLY for the Fortinet Client on Windows.I used this XML config (from docu).<proxy><update>0</update><fail_over_to_fdn>0</fail_over_to_fdn><online_scep>1</online_scep><virus_submission>0</virus_submission><type>http</type><address>myproxy</address><port>3299</port><username></username><password></password></proxy>BUT still the Fortinet Client connecting without Proxy.I also installed the newest Free client 7.2.4.0972_x64 Using the proxy in Windows network settings is working, means VPN via proxy is working. Any Idea why FortinNet client ignores the proxy from the configuration?Thx and rg A.  

What is the Authentication Servers for in the FortiClient EMS Cloud setup and how does it differ from the SAML Configuration thats under User Management?

Hey,  We are a small startup looking into buying a network firewall that would be easy to connect to the Fortinet VPN.  I searched for articles describing how to do that with Juniper or Cisco, and that doesn't look straightforward. Therefore, I'm seeking advice on a modern, rack-mounted device suitable for managing a very modest amount of tracking that can be easy to set up as a Fortinet client.  Best,Yevheni 

Hello, I would like to have confirmation if possible (I'm a novice in the field). I have this message "Log-forward 'ld-xxxxxxx' lag behind 99.92%, discarded 9551454767149537bytes, every 10min and I think the FAZ can't forward all logs to ELK. Can anyone confirme my thinking  Even in the graph < Receive Rate vs Forwarding Rate > I can see that number of receiving log is heigher than the forwarding one. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I am trying to figure out Traffic Shaping on my FortiGate FGT200F running Firmware 7.4.3, I can see that you can create Traffic Shaping profiles in Policies & Objects and assign based on criteria but also can see that you can assign to Firewall policies. Which should you use or recommend to use? I have taken over the FortiGate's from another person and they appear to be using both but think they must be clashing with each other. Thanks
