    For next time; when it gets stuck at 80%, it's an authentication problem. Not reachability issue to the FGT.

    if it is an authentication problem why the error message is something else?

    Customers are calling us all the time that the VPN gateway is not reachable and the service we are providing has not the value they expected.

    Fortinet should make something with this.

    Hello, 

     

      Did you make any changes to System - Replacement Messages - SSL-VPN Login Page? I tried removing that whole page and I found that the Windows FortiClient needed %%SSL_LOGIN%% for the client to work. This is not ideal for my situation.

    Hi! Have the similar problem.

    circs:

    VPN user from MS AD LDAP

    FortiClient 6.2.1.0831

    FortiGate 200e in HA Active-Passive

    As a result of my experiments came to the following-

    When i added the local user on FG and connected VPN with it, client will were connected. Then i disconnected VPN, and next connected with AD user creds, and VPN established.

    Bug or not i dont know, but after some time, the problem returns

    I’ve seen this too if the password has expired.
