Problem with vpn connection

I have a user that can't connect with vpn, at 40% it stops with no error message.

Credentials work in other pc and it doesn't work even after reinstalling the client.

Those are the logs:

Dear Mzane

 

The SSL VPN sometimes gets stuck at 40%. This can be caused when the FortiClient opens a new window in the back asking to proceed as the certificate is un-trusted.

After clicking 'yes', the connection will proceed normally.

 

Refer the following article:

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-FortiClient-SSL-VPN-connection-status-gets-stuck/ta-p/197837#:~:text=The%20SSL%20VPN%20sometimes%20gets,the%20connection%20will%20proceed%20normally.

I know it's a pretty old topic, but have you found a solution?

I'm facing the same issue. No certificate popping up on the background, it just stops

Try to reset you login credentials and try logging in. I have reinstalled into latest version and reset my login password. It worked for me.
