FortiClient VPN conflicting with Microsoft Intune

In our environment, we use FortiClient VPN version 7.0.14.0585. We started researching into the possible benefits of Intune, so I configured enrollment, compliance polices, and a simple BitLocker requirement. Those are the only changes to our Entra/Intune environment that I made. Soon, I had rolled Intune out onto a few computers in our division. One of our employees notified us of issues connecting to the VPN, and we suspected Intune to be at fault. Sure enough, when Intune was removed the issue went away.

As @sharmar mentioned above, if you have Conditional Access Policy checking, you will have to use 'external browser', refer: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Implementing-device-based-Conditional-Access/ta-p/267878

Hello @hflorian

If you want to use intune compliance with saml, then make you use the external browser, I believe it doesn't support with internal browser.

Thank you !!

Hey, thanks very much. Looking into what I can do on the Intune side of things. Our environment uses the free version of FortiClient.
