Description

This article describes the case when it is missing the Client Certificate in the FortiClient Drop Down Menu.

Scope FortiClient.
Solution

FortiClient v7.2.4 is running on the latest Windows 11. Users have two certificates with private keys in the Windows Key store in Personal Certificates. When connecting to FortiClient VPN, the drop-down menu only shows one certificate for selection.

 

Two certificates can be seen when creating a new SSL/IPsec connection. After saving the connection profile, only one certificate is shown in the drop-down menu.

Edit the XML configuration file, and put 'show_auth_cert_only' parameter from 1 to 0 as below.

 

The below configuration did not show all available certificates.


<forticlient_configuration>
<sslvpn>
<options>
<show_auth_cert_only>1</show_auth_cert_only>
</options>
</sslvpn>
</forticlient_configuration>

 

It is resolved after changing 'show_auth_cert_only; to 0 and save the XML configuration file:


<forticlient_configuration>
<sslvpn>
<options>
<show_auth_cert_only>0</show_auth_cert_only>
</options>
</sslvpn>
</forticlient_configuration>
