    Is there any Forticlient-VPN-User trying to connect from the same IP as your other location (from within the location?)? This could bring up this error and confuse the Fortigate even if your tunnel is working!

    ok, you are alright, my file-over configuration was bad becouse i had enabled the " always activate connection" for the 2 connection. Thanks for your help
