Hi

I would like to implement SSL VPN with certificate authentication. I have configured SSL VPN with PKI users and CA certificate is uploaded to Fortigate. client certificate is installed in root certificate folder. when i try to choose the certificate from Forticlient SSL VPN setting, it is not showing the installed certificate from the list. Has anyone faced this issue before? But if i select IPsec VPN option from Forticlient, i can see the the certificate from list.

Thanks

I think it depends on the OS but yes in WinOS MACosx the certificate is imported and as p7 or p12 format . Once you have the certificate installed & as user certificate you can call it up via the client.

For deliverance via GPO, I believe only MS-CA originated certificates can be delivered via a GPO. You can follow any of the numerous KBs for GPO deliver.

HI there Alpha7!

I think that the Client certificates must be installed in the personal folder, not in the root certifitcate folder and that's why you can't see it after you installed it.

Hope it Helps!

Hi

I tried to install in root certificate folder and personal folder as well but no luck. If i install the certificate in p12 format, it appears from Forticlient SSL VPN configuration. But if you install .cer format certificate, it doesn't appear in SSL VPN configuration. We would like to push .cer format to clients through GPO. is there any permission related issue here? client PC has got admin rights

Thanks
