Question

FortiClient (macOS) cannot restore configuration file

Hi guys,

 

installed FortiClient (macOS) 7.0.0 build 0022 recently on my MacMini with macOS Big Sur 11.4.

 

The creation of the VPN, as well as the remote access worked fine. I also was able to generate a backup of the configuration.

 

Unfortunately the restore of the configuration does not work:

I choose the configuration file, fill the password, and click OK. At that moment the application simply get stuck and nothing more happens.

 

Many Thanks for your great work!!!

-Chris

I am facing the same issue. Anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Apparently MacOS version does not support the "authentication" attribute in the <forticlient_configuration> root tag. If you remove it, it gets imported but the encrypted values no longer work.
