Hi Team,

We are planning to use azure AD for authentication with MFA as SSO. We were using forticlient 6.0.10 

 

SAML authentication is supported after client version 6.4 only. So we are planning to install 7.0.5 but it shows license will get expired after 30 days. does this license affects the SAML authentication after 30 days.


Regards

Venky

Hi Venky,
Both the free and the EMS-managed FortiClient versions support SAML.

The warning you see suggests you likely accidentally downloaded the EMS-managed version, which needs to be registered with EMS within 30 days, after which it disables its functionality otherwise.

 

Both variants are available from the product downloads page, so make sure you pick the "VPN only" one if you do not have EMS.
