Question

Modify FortiClient via EMS

Is it possible to modify the landing page when you open the client to be the Remote Access Tab with it defaulting to a specific connection? The policy calls a profile that has both IPsec and SSL vpn. Wanted to push users to start using the IPSec connection and would be simpler if they just opened the client to that section rather than having to explicitly select the IPsec vpn connection.

EMS > Endpoint Profiles > System Settings > Default Tab > Remote Access , this will set the Remote Access as the default tab in Forticlient

EMS > Endpoint Profiles > Remote Access > Current Connection > VPN , this in theory should select the default VPN

Seems like a useful setup, but with so many different options and settings, it really feels like a “jack of all trades, master of none” situation.

Thanks for the solution. That actually did work out pretty well. 

 

I was able to set the remote access tab as the default and then set the priority of the IPsec vpn.
