Suggestions for development of FortiClient for MacOS

To development team:

2 suggestions:

1.  When I open / launch FortiClient it opens right up.  When I'm done using it and want to close it by clicking "Shut Down FortiClient" on menu bar, it always brings up a password prompt to enter in my local Mac administrator password.  I don't see why it lets me launch it with no password, but wants a password to close it.  Just a minor annoyance.  I think I should be able to open and close the program without having to enter my password.  Maybe make that a user preference setting?

2. None of the FortiClient windows respond to the system wide close window shortcut, command-W.  Have to close using the red circle.  Bug / missing feature IMHO.

 

Other than this the program works great.

 

Thank you! Jon

FortiClient 5.6.0.703

    Also the system wide shortcut command+tab (like alt+tab on windows) works on the main "console" window, but not on the quick VPN connect window when you launch from the top right menu bar. Thanks

    I don't see any option to not load FortiClient on system startup.  The program loads every time the computer boots up whether I want it to or not.  Even unders System Preferences, User accounts, Login items, it's not listed as a program I can delete from running when I log in.

     

    Can Fortinet add an option in FortiClient for Mac to not load it on system startup? Thanks
