Configure Windows IPSec VPN with FortiManager

Is there a way to use FortiManager to build Windows Client Native IPSec tunnels? I know I can do it directly on the device, but wasn't sure if there was a way to centralize it using FMG instead.

 

FMG 7.2.8 (updating to 7.2.9 when the vm image is available)

FGT 60F - 7.2.10

 

I know I can do it directly on the FGT, but was hoping there was a way to do it via VPN Manager in FMG to keep everything consistent.

Yes, Import the FortiGate configuration into FortiManager and maintain the changes as part of the FortiManager database to ensure consistency.

FortiManager's VPN Manager does not directly support configuring Windows Client Native IPSec tunnels. It will help to manage site-to-site VPN connections between FortiGate devices

 

While FortiManager doesn't offer a centralized way to manage these specific client-to-site VPN connections through its VPN Manager, you can still use FortiManager to push consistent configurations to your FortiGate devices.
