Hi,

 

Anyone had tried before access to the application directly from external without login to SSL-VPN in the fortigate. 

 

Meaning does not need to login to SSL VPN.. but on the backend.. when they click on end user's application, it will pass in the login info via API to fortigate and fortigate validate with the SSL-VPN user profile.

 

From: REST API documents

Hi Steven,

 

what are you trying to do? Build an SSLVPN client? Not sure if it works, but it would require the sslvpnd to read and answer a query response. If you have the API documentation you can check with debug easily:

diag debug console timestamp enable

diag debug app sslvpn -1

diag debug enable

Then build your curl calls for the API.

 

Best regards,

 

Markus
