Hi,

I have forticlient vpn 6.0 on ubuntu. When I try to connect with valid user credentials it stucks at Status: Connecting and when I click to disconnect nothing happens, I have to quit the application entirely. What may be the cause of that?

I am sure that the credentials are correct as it connects when we try to connect via a different computer. I added a screenshot to the attachements showing the issue.

Thanks.

Open forticlient GUI.
Take note of the connection name (if you didn't create it yet, create it according to the above tutorial).
Open a terminal.
Type "fortivpn connect CONNECTIONNAME" (replace CONNECTIONNAME with the name of the connection you created earlier).
You will see a prompt, press "y" (this certificate is what's causing the issue in the GUI).You will receive a push notification on the app, approve it.
You can check the connection by typing "fortivpn status" or checking the GUI

PS. If fortivpn isn't recognized either add /opt/forticlient to the $PATH or substitute it with ./opt/forticlient/fortivpn

PSS. You will need to repeat steps 4-8 every time you need to connect.
