Forticlient 7.2.4 breaks authenticated active connections during ctrl-alt-del

Hi,

testing Forticlient 7.2.4. When using a user authenticated session (FortiAuthenticator 6.4.4) and having an open session like for example putty ssh, when issuing a ctrl-alt-del (lock screen and unlock) the active session is terminated.

When checking in the Authenticator monitoring i notice the active authenticated session dissapears when performing the ctrl-alt-del.

Version 7.0.8 seems not to have this issue. Haven't tried any other version yet. Anyone who encountered same thing and has a workaround? Need at least 7.2.2 for Azure joined laptops...

I guess you are referring to the SSO Mobility Agent feature and SSO sessions being removed in FAC. Is FCT managed by EMS? Is this behavior related only to ctrl-alt-delete key press or also to simple lock screen?

It happens with the ssoma client as well as the forticlient ems. As well with ctrl-alt-delete as simple lock screen.

I did a search internally and starting from version 7.2.2 the behavior is changed #862021. For security reason SSOMA will treat screen lock as logout. This change was introduced to prevent local users getting access while the AD user is in locked screen status.
