I configured the certbased sslvpn on my FortiGate. The connection works fine user gets his usercertificate and authenticates with it. When i configurate the Remote-Profile on the EMS and say AutoConnect when Off-net, it wont connect automatically after restart. It says: empty username is not allowed. After accepting this message i can klick on connect and its connected. How can I fix this, to get the autmatic connection?

Hi,

You could try disabling the option "prompt username" in the SSL VPN settings in your EMS.
