Question

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to setup SSLVPN with certificate authentication using the default Fortinet_Factory cert. I select "require certificate" option in the SSLVPN settings. I then downloaded the certificate and copied it to my Android device where I then go into the Forticlient app and try to select the certificate from there, but this does not work...gives an error saying "certificate not installed"

 

Has anyone done a setup like this before? Does it work?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Gino

    There was a recent article on the Fortinet KB about this, have you followed these steps?

    Hi hohosecure,

     

    thanks for the reply. I managed to get it working. I ended up having to generate my own certificate through OpenSSL in order to have a private key file and then created a PKCS12 file as well with password to import onto my Android + FGT device. Forticlient is now happy and working with the SSLVPN.
