Hello, I use the program FotiSSL to connect with VPN to the Firewall Fortigate. Authentication is done on the Active Directory server of the company. I see that with Windows passwords containing special characters, authentication fails when the password is correct!!! I have this problem with the following characters in the password: " (" , " ç" , " ;" . Are you aware of this problem? Do you have a list of character for not use within the passwords of Windows ? thanks, Nico

    What software version are you running? It is known that some versions have this bug. Also, are you using FSAE or ldap to bind with the AD server?
