Hi,

Does anyone know if Fortigate VPNs can be used for the IOS per-app VPN functionality deployed using Airwatch, Intune, XenMobile etc?

For example intune doesn't mention Fortigate as supported connection type:

Thanks.

Apple's Configurator 2 guide makes it sound like additional per-app VPN types can be defined as a custom config?

For other SSL VPN solutions, contact your vendor and ask if they have an app in the App Store. If they do, choose Custom SSL from the Connection Type pop-up menu, then enter the configuration information provided by the vendor. Make sure the Identifier field matches the identifier specified by your vendor’s VPN app and is in reverse DNS format (for example, com.example.myvpn). Your users must install both the vendor’s app and the configuration profile to connect to your network.

Will this definitely not work with FortiClient? The 5.4.1 ios guide mentions FortiClient having an identifier of com.fortinet.forticlient and support for split tunnel ssl-based vpn. I was hoping to use this same functionality so I can get one ios app to an internal server but not touch anything else.
