Hello!

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with the different FortiClient Technologies and if they are certified to work with any Linux System (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) esp Fedora 42, is it compatible?

 

Sources would be appreciated, i can't really find anything on this specific topic!

Thank you very much in advance!

FortiClient (7.4.3 for the below link) is officially compatible with CentOS/RedHat 9, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.4.3/linux-release-notes/136392

 

It seems on older version (7.2.7) it was supported on Fedora.

Now, since Fedora is RPM based, you may try to install the same version of Centos/RedHat, however it is not officially mentioned that it is supported. So if you want to do it on your critical production then you better open a ticket first.

Hope it helps.
