Hello Everyone,

I have a problem configuring the Forticlient with Azure SSO (Azure in mode hybrid using ADFS, my account has MFA configured too). When I want to connect and login, don't show me to put the username and password. In the web forticlien version, this is working.

I tried with forticlient (ver 6 and 7) and windows 10.

Someone has configured forticlient with Azure SSO?

Thanks a lot.

Hey Rdelvi,

are you trying a setup with SAML authentication, or what exactly do you mean with Azure SSO in this context?

If SAML:

Do you have the Single-Sign-On option enabled in SSLVPN?

If yes, then you should see an SSO login option only when trying to connect to VPN; this will open a browser through FortiClient and direct you to Azure for the login. You don't actually type the username/password into FortiClient directly.

If this is not SAML, can you elaborate on the FortiGate side setup and how the user should be authenticated against Azure? You will also need to disable the Single Sign On option in VPN tunnel, as that is only for SAML login.
