Question

ForticlientEMS installer packages not updating / can't create new packages

Is anybody else experiencing issues creating or updating installer packages at the moment?

 

It appears to possibly be an issue on Fortinet's side.

 

2024-12-10T07:25:53.759+0200 ERROR service/installer.go:391 requesting FCT installer repackage: repackage of Windows setup installers failed: POST to https://forticlient-rs.forticloud.com/rs/api/public/v1/repackagedFCTInstaller/. Status code: 503

 

Edit: This is for v7.4.2 which has appeared in the FEMS console. I see in the support portal that v7.4.2 is actually not available for download. I tried setting up a separate v7.4.1 installer package, with auto-patch disabled, and I get the same error.

I do not recive any update nor workaround. Our team must manualy deploy forticlients, massive time waste on our site.

Mine started working again yesterday out of the blue, no action from my side at all, we received the forticlient update notification when i logged in first thing, so they have fixed whatever the issue was

Still not working on our deployments. Our ticket is open since 2024-12-13, and status set to "pend bug fix". 

 

Having to wait that long for a fix is not ok. :(
