Question

Prompt Username = 0

Hello,

 

we use Fortigate v7.2.10 with FortiClient v7.4.1.

We import a .conf-file with this value:

<prompt_username>0</prompt_username>

 

So: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\Sslvpn\Tunnels\VPN Profile\promptusername=0

That's ok. But in HKEY_CURRENT_USER not, it's promptusername=1.

So if I start FortiClient, the username-input is blank. If I set promptusername=0 manually, it sets the username I saved in the Profile.

But after I connect to VPN, Forti sets promptusername=1 again.

 

How can I change the behavior so that promptusername is always 0?

Hi Marco

Can you check on your remote FortiGate, in ssl portal configuration > tunnel mode, if the parameter "allow user to save password" is enabled?

Do you have <save_username> set to 1 as well?
