Question

FortiClient versions >6.0.0 fail IPSec connections

Tried with both versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2. Both fail with IPSec VPN connections. Only 6.0.0 works.

 

Grabbing logs from the receiving fortigate always returns:

 

ike 0:FC-IPSec:276457: parse error ike 0:FC-IPSec:276457: probable pre-shared secret mismatch

Even after changing the PSK at the FG and the FCT it still shows this error on a debug reverting to 6.0.0 fixes the issue.

    FG SRA IPSec conf:

     

    config vpn ipsec phase1-interface     edit "FC-IPSec"         set type dynamic         set interface "wan1"         set peertype any         set mode-cfg enable         set ipv4-dns-server1 xxx         set ipv4-dns-server2 xxx         set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256         set npu-offload disable         set xauthtype auto         set authusrgrp "IT-VPN"         set idle-timeout enable         set idle-timeoutinterval 10         set ipv4-start-ip 10.133.7.100         set ipv4-end-ip 10.133.7.150         set ipv4-split-include "FC-IPSec_split"         set psksecret xxx     next end

    config vpn ipsec phase2-interface     edit "FC-IPSec"         set phase1name "FC-IPSec"         set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256         set pfs enable         set dhgrp 14         set replay enable         set keepalive disable         set add-route phase1         set auto-discovery-sender phase1         set auto-discovery-forwarder phase1         set keylife-type seconds         set single-source disable         set route-overlap use-new         set encapsulation tunnel-mode         set comments ''         set protocol 0         set src-addr-type subnet         set src-port 0         set dst-addr-type subnet         set dst-port 0         set keylifeseconds 43200         set src-subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0         set dst-subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0     next end

     

     

    The VPN settings are actually pushed down by EMS onto the clients but for testing of the new clients I manually install the latest versions before I will have users upgrade.

     

    FCT VPN settings:

     

     

    These are identical between all versions 6.0.0 and above as I said they are pushed out by an EMS profile. But 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 will give errors of probable preshared key mismtach. After reversion to 6.0.0 the PSK mismatch goes away.

    EMS doesn't allow me to pull the config and its a pain to change and push the profile. Here's a screen capture.
